The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from All's Well That Ends Well by William Shakespeare: SECOND LORD.
A pox on 't; let it go; 'tis but a drum.
PAROLLES.
But a drum! Is't but a drum? A drum so lost!--There was excellent
command! to charge in with our horse upon our own wings, and to
rend our own soldiers.
SECOND LORD.

disaster of war that Caesar himself could not have prevented, if
he had been there to command.
BERTRAM.
