attr. Æsop, Three Hundred Aesop's Fables — The Trumpeter taken Prisoner (1887)
“ I have not slain a single man of your troop. I have no arms, and carry nothing but this one brass trumpet." "That is the very reason for which you should be put to death," they said; "for, while you do not fight yourself, your trumpet stirs up all the others to battle." ”
