164 Chorus breaks into two parties.

On, hasten we: for me, upon this path

Will I keep watch, that toward the sunrise looks.

And I on this, that trendeth to the west.

Sideward glance ye—O rightward and leftward aye

Turn ye your eyes: then gaze on the rearward way.

Even as thou bidd'st, we obey.

(Ant.)

Now cast ye around you your eyes: yea, wide

Through the veil of your tresses flash them on every side.

Who is this on the path?—take heed!—what peasant is here

That strayeth with haunting feet to thine halls anear?

Undone, friends!—to our foes shall he reveal

Straightway the armèd lions lurking there!

Nay, untrodden the path is—have no fear,

O friend—for the which was thy doubt.
