Eteocles: Ay, pay thy vows to Heaven; I grudge them not,
But-so thou strike no fear into our men-
Have calm at heart, nor be too much afraid.
Alack, it is fresh in mine ears, the clamour and crash of the fray,
And up to our holiest height I sped on my timorous way,
Bewildered, beset by the din!

Eteocles: Now, if ye hear the bruit of death or wounds,
Give not yourselves o'ermuch to shriek and scream,
For Ares ravins upon human flesh.

Leader of the Chorus: Ah, but the snorting of the steeds I hear!

Eteocles: Then, if thou hearest, hear them not too well

Leader: Hark, the earth rumbles, as they close us round!
