Lucretius on the Celts

I found this in one of my required reading. I liked it so...

And this race of men from the plains
were all the harder, for hard land
had borne them; built on stronger
and firmer bones, and endowed with mighty
sinew, they were a race undaunted by heat or cold, plague,
strange new foodstuffs. For many years,
among the beast of the earth they led their life.

Lucretius. He goes on but it isn't as nice to the Celts.
Cute book I found at a discount store
