The movie continues the recurring theme of poetry (Milton's 'Lycidas' (1638) - 'Tomorrow to Fresh Woods and Pastures New'). The quote, in the context of the poem, actually refers to King Edward's death (the shepherds' mourning). Notably, in the Sharpe series, poetry is usually used to foreshadow, allude to, or signify negative events. This holds true here too, as will only become fully apparent in the next movie in the series, "Sharpe's Mission".
