The Trojan chief Aeneas, answering, said:⁠— “Nay, talk not so; it cannot but be thus, Until upon a chariot, and with steeds, We try our prowess with this man in war. Haste, mount my chariot here, and thou shalt see How well are Trojan horses trained to range The field of battle, in the swift pursuit Hither and thither, or in rapid flight; And they shall bring us safely to the town Should Jove a second time bestow the meed Of glory on Tydides. Haste, and take The lash and well-wrought reins, while I descend To fight on foot; or haply thou wilt wait The foe’s advance while I direct the steeds.”
