Obedience to our prince! let us go to array ourselves in armor and tell these orders

Rhesus Perseus (Euripides. The Rhesus of Euripides. Murray, Gilbert, translator. London: George Allen and Company, Ltd., 1913.) — 993 focus

During the following lines HECTOR goes to his tent to get his shield, and as he enters sees DOLON’S bloody wolf-skin hanging. He takes it, looks at it, and throws it down without a word. Then he puts on his helmet, takes his shield and spear, and follows the Guards as they march off.

CHORUS.

The Chief hath spoken: let his will

Be law, ye Trojans.—Raise the cry

To Arms! To Arms! and down the line
995

Of allies pass the battle-sign.

The God of Ilion liveth still;

And men may conquer ere they die.

Exeunt.
