VOICES.
(amid the tumult)

Ha! Ha!—At them! At them! After them! Down
675

with them !—Where are they?

CAPTAIN.

Who is that fellow? Look! That yonder!

A MAN.

Rascal thieves, the sort that crawl

And vex an army in the dark!

CAPTAIN.

Ho, this way! Follow! This way all!
680

They pursue ODYSSEUS and DIOMEDE; catch them and bring them back.

A MAN.

I have them! I have caught them!

CAPTAIN
(to ODYSSEUS).

Whence comest thou? What art thou? Say; what captain and what company?
