ATALANTA IN CALYDON.
55
Came clashes of swift hoofs and trampling feet
And through the windy pillared corridor
Light sharper than the frequent flames of day
That daily fill it from the fiery dawn;
Gleams, and a thunder of people that cried out,
And dust and hurrying horsemen; lo their chief,
That rode with Œneus rein by rein, returned.
What cheer, O herald of my lord the king?
HERALD.
CHORUS.
ALTHÆA.
HERALD.
ALTHÆA.
HERALD.
