Creon: I could wish it so; but I see great difficulties in this.

Eteocles: Trust me, I will not keep my host within the walls.

Creon: Still victory is entirely a matter of good counsel.

Eteocles: Art anxious then that I should have recourse to any other
scheme?

Creon: Aye to every scheme, before running the risk once for all.

Eteocles: Suppose we fall on them by night from ambuscade?

Creon: Good! provided in the event of defeat thou canst secure thy
return hither.

Eteocles: Night equalizes risks, though it rather favours daring.
