Capitolo 71
To the strong virility, men gone over the spring
And increase of the full one that produces seed,
And those that youth and the virility combined well
Order for action--all to rise in help
Of city, shrines and altars of all the powers
Who protect our earth; that ne'ers, to end of time,
Is stained out the due sacred service
To our sweet mother-earth and his/her brood.
For her it was who to their guest-right call
Your youth that waxes, was patient of the toil,
And he/she tenderly took care of her on the attractive womb of the earth,
Likewise to plant the hearth and to bear the shield
On call faithful, for a hour as this.
Now Mark! thin to to-day, fortune dominates our staircase;
For us, although long it besieged, in the principal
Has very hard with our stricken sallies the foemen.
But now the clairvoyant, the feeder of the birds,
(Of who art the infallible and prophetic ability
Of ear and mind their expression foretells
Without knowing about interpreted fire)
Foretelleth, from the dominion of his/her art,
What time an assault of the innkeeper of Achaea
It is from a suggestion of the night drawn
To fall in double strength on our walls.
On and street, then, to the battlement,
The gates, the ramparts! teacher of a college Your pomps,
Order him to I breast-work her/it, maintains Your position
On floors of the towers, and with the good heart
Firm of stand for sudden sallies to the gates,
Neither it holds too much atrocious a respect for hordes
Expeditious far on You from: some god will protect!
Me also, for aware espial of their field,
You/he/she has sent before explorers, and trust is mine
They won't fail neither they will tremble to their assignment,
And, with their news, I fear the astuteness of any foemen.
[_Enter_ Una Spies.
THE SPY
Eteocles, tall king of the people of Cadmus,
I am standing here with news certified and sure
From the field of Argos, things perceived alone.
Seven warlike heads that, game of strength,
