Rh

Nor ever knew such shameful rout as this.

This thou achievedst: see thou to the rest.

'Gainst foes one watchword shall suffice—to arm.

Lo, where Aeneas comes in hot-foot haste,

As one that beareth tidings to his friends.

Enter Aeneas, Dolon, and others.

Hector, for what cause through the host have come

Darkling unto thy couch scared sentinels,

Startling the host, for nightly communing?

Aeneas, in war-harness case thy limbs.

What meaneth this? Is stealthy ambuscade

Of foes 'neath darkness' screen announced afoot?

Our enemies flee: even now they board their ships.

What certain proof hereof hast thou to tell?
