Odysseus: Beware thou stumble not upon the guard in the darkness.

Diomedes: I will take good care how I advance even in this gloom.

Odysseus: If however thou shouldst rouse them, dost know their watchword?

Diomedes: Yea, 'tis "Phorbus"; I heard Dolon use it.
(They enter the tent, then return.)

Odysseus: Ha! the foe I see have left this bivouac.

Diomedes: Yet Dolon surely said that here was Hector's couch, against
whom this sword of mine is drawn.

Odysseus: What can it mean? Is his company withdrawn elsewhere?

Diomedes: Perhaps to form some stratagem against us.
