What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare? No time to stand beneath the boughs and stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, in broad daylight, streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, and watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can,
enrich that smile her eyes began? A poor life this if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare.

The Roman Centurions
A Roman Centurion was an officer in charge of a century (about 80 men). He wore a helmet with a sideways crest as a sign of his status. Of course, he also fought with a sword not a crossbow but let's not get too picky.
