Iolaus: What is he about? marshalling the enemy's line?

Servant: So we guessed; we could not hear exactly. But I must go,
for I would not that my master should engage the foe without me, if
I can help it.

Iolaus: I also will go with thee; for I like thee am minded, so it
seems, to be there and help my friends.

Servant: It least of all becomes thee thus to utter words of folly.

Iolaus: Far less to shrink from sharing with my friends the stubborn
fight.

Servant: Mere looks can wound no one, if the arm do naught.

Iolaus: Why, cannot I smite even through their shields?
