Thread Name: Lyr Req: King Karactacus / Caractacus
Subject: RE: King Karactacus (?)
Somewhere too there is an old poem (I read it in a 1920s Book of Knowledge encyclopedia from my Dad, but the set is now at my brother's in Tulsa) about the capture of Caractacus. It included one of those quotes that, while he might not have said it (and it would not have sounded so grand in another language anyway) he, or someone, should have. It was something to the effect that while they could capture his body they could not take his real freedom away. Does this ring a bell for anyone?
