I do not know; I am very suspicious.HectorIf you fear this, be sure there’s nothing you would not fear.Chorus LeaderNever before did the enemy kindle such a blaze.HectorNo, nor ever before did they suffer such shameful defeat and rout.Chorus LeaderThis you have achieved; look now to what remains to do.HectorA simple tale, to arm against the enemy.Chorus LeaderLook! Here comes Aeneas, in great haste too, with news to tell his friends.AeneasHector, why have the sentinels in terror made their way through the army at night to your couch to hold a midnight conclave and disturb the army?HectorEncase yourself in your armor, Aeneas.AeneasWhat is it? Have tidings come of some secret stratagem set on foot during the night by the foe?HectorThe men are flying, and going aboard their ships.AeneasWhat sure proof can you give of this?HectorThe whole night they are kindling blazing torches; I think they will not wait for tomorrow, but after lighting brands upon their ships’ decks will leave this land and fly to their homes.AeneasAnd you, why do you gird on your sword?
