35Verse 2 - same pattern as first Verse -
36But the men stood fast with their guns on their shoulders
37Not knowing what to do with contradicting orders
38The general said he would do his own duty but extended it no further
39The men could go as they pleased
40But not a man moved their eyes gazed straight ahead
41Till one by one they stepped back and not a word was said
42The old general was left with his own words echoing in his head
43He then prepared to fight
