Excerpt from Horace's Life and Character: Second Supplement

They could not come to terms For rivals, as in battle so in law, Are stubborn in proportion to their strength. In Hector and Achilles this appear'd, Since death alone could terminate their feud, Because in either valour was supreme. If strife arise between two faineants, Or strong and weak like Diomede of Greece And Lycian Glaucus, let the weak give way And make amends - When Praetor Brutus held Rich Asia, banish'a Rex and Persius met, Well pair'd as Bitbus was with Bacchius, And into court they came, a sight to see.
