TRUMPETER during a battle 

 ventured too near the enemy and 

 was captured by them. They 

 were about to proceed to put him 

 to death when he begged them to hear his 

 plea for mercy. " I do not fight," said he, 

 " and indeed carry no weapon ; I only blow 

 this trumpet, and surely that cannot harm 

 you ; then why should you kill me ? " 



" You may not fight yourself," said the 

 others, i£ but you encourage and guide your 

 men to the fight."
