MANLIUS.
Jeg kender disse folk
fra fordums tid. Dog, lad det være godt.
Den dag, som kommer, vil vel åbenbare,
hvad guderne har over os besluttet.
Men gå, Statilius, og efterse
om alle vagter gør sin skyldighed.
Mod natligt overfald vi må os sikkre;
vi véd jo ej, hvor vore fiender står.
(Statilius går ind i skoven.)
MANLIUS.
I know these people well
From days gone by. However, let that pass.
The day that dawns will doubtless bring to light
What destinies the gods have set for us.
MANLIUS.
But go the rounds, my friend, and ascertain
If all the guards perform their proper tasks.
For we must fend against a night attack;
We know not where the enemy makes his stand.
[STATILIUS goes into the forest.]
