2 Maccabees 6:19
18. Eleazar, one of the principal scribes, an aged man, and of a well favoured countenance, was constrained to open his mouth, and to eat swine's flesh.19. But he, choosing rather to die gloriously, than to live stained with such an abomination, spit it forth, and came of his own accord to the torment,20. As it behoved them to come, that are resolute to stand out against such things, as are not lawful for love of life to be tasted.
