SERV. They do; and they occupy the left wing.[[21]]
IOL. Is then the army already armed as for the work?

SERV. So that the general can be distinctly seen.
IOL. Doing what? arraying the ranks of the enemies?
SERV. We conjectured this, for we did not hear him; but I will go; I should not like my masters to join battle with the enemy, deserted as far as my part is concerned.
IOL. And I will go with you; for we think the same things, being present to aid our friends as much as we can.
SERV. It is not your part to say a foolish word.
