| Notes | The poem is a paean for the Carthaginian general and statesman Hamilcar Barca who lead the Punic War against the Romans in Sicily during the third century BC. Casement's lines are written just as WWI was coming to an end and after the 1916 Easter Rising that marks a central event in Ireland's revolutionary period. |
