The true poetry of Rome lived in its institutions... from such a rhythm and order in the shows of life, to those who were at once the poets and the actors of these immortal dramas... the consequence was empire, and the reward everlasting fame. These things are not the less poetry... They are the episodes of that cyclic poem written by Time upon the memories of men.

officers composed their orders in rhyme, using a standardized system known to every soldier. The Mongol warriors used a set of fixed melodies and poetic styles into which various words could be improvised according to the meaning of the message.
