  Horatius Cocles
Horatius Cocles: legendary Roman hero, defended the bridge across the Tiber when the city was attacked by the Etruscans.
Then Cocles said, "Tiberinus, holy father, I pray thee to receive into thy propitious stream these arms and this thy warrior." So, fully armed, he leaped into the Tiber, and though many missiles fell over him he swam across in safety to his friends: an act of daring more famous than credible with posterity.
The State showed its gratitude for such courage; his statue was set up in the Comitium [2], and as much land given to him as he could drive the plough round in one day.

  Chapter 29. The House Of Morrel & Son Page 1
Cocles remained in M. Morrel's service, and a most singular change had taken place in his position; he had at the same time risen to the rank of cashier, and sunk to the rank of a servant.
Cocles had seen them go without thinking of inquiring the cause of their departure.
Cocles went away perfectly happy, for this eulogium of M. Morrel, himself the pearl of the honest men of Marseilles, flattered him more than a present of fifty crowns.

 Horatius Cocles
As Cocles fought on alone, Romans from behind began to destroy the bridge.
He held back the enemy for a while, and just when it seemed he was about to be overwhelmed by their sheer numbers, the bridge at last gave way and they all plunged into the river.
For his efforts, Cocles was later given all the land he could drive a plow around in one day, and a statue of him was placed in the forum.

 OF BENEFICE-HUNTERS Desiderus Erasmus ERASMUS ROTERODAMUS Translated into English by N. Bailey London, 1725
COCLES: If you act the Part of a Herald, it will be for a Trumpet; if you sound an Alarm, a Horn; if you dig, a Spade; if you reap, a Sickle; if you go to Sea, an Anchor; in the Kitchen it will serve for a Flesh-hook; and in Fishing a Fish-hook.
COCLES: But in my Opinion they live the most pleasant Life that have at Home a pretty Girl, that they may embrace as often as they have a Mind to it.
COCLES: But Solitude is so melancholy a Life, that Adam in Paradise could not have liv'd happily unless God had given him an Eve.
