Leader: They grasp the stout spear, and the massy shield.

Atossa: What monarch reigns, whose power commands their ranks?

Leader: Slaves to no lord, they own no kingly power.

Atossa: How can they then resist the invading foe?

Leader: As to spread havoc through the numerous host,
That round Darius form'd their glitt'ring files.

Atossa: Thy words strike deep, and wound the parent's breast
Whose sons are march'd to such a dangerous field.
