Of sleep.—Let someone fly
And get the horses armour on!—
Who goes with me to Panthoös son?—
Whos for Sarpêdon and the Lycians?—None
Hath seen the priest[*] go by?—
Ho, Captain of the Runners, ho!—
Ho, Trojans of the hornèd bow!
String, string! For need is nigh.
34
HECTOR.
Ha, silence there! . . .
First words of fear,
Then comfort. All an empty swell!
It seems The lash of trembling Pan[*]
Hath caught you. Speak, if speak ye can.
What tidings? Not a word is clear
Of the whole tale ye tell.
[The turmoil subsides, the LEADER comes forward.
41
LEADER.[*]
Great beacons in the Argive line[*]
Have burned, my chief, through half the night.
The shipyard timbers[*] seemed to shine.
Then, clear against the light,
Toward Agamemnons tent the whole
Army in tumult seemed to roll,
As stirred by some strange voice, shoal after shoal.
A night of such discord
Was never seen. And we, in dread
What such things boded, turned and sped
Hither; dost blame us, Lord?
52
HECTOR.(after a moment of thought)
No! Welcome, friend, with all thy tale of fear!
It shows they mean to fly: they mean to clear
Decks in the dark and so delude my sight . . .
I like that beacon-burning in the night.
