Rai. (impatiently.) Rest! and that sleepless thought——
Knight. These walls have strength
To baffle siege. Let the foe gird us in—
We must wait aid; our soldiers must forget
That last disastrous day.
Rai. (coming forward.) If they forget it, in the combat’s press
May their spears fail them!
Knight. Yet, bethink thee, chief.
Rai. When I forget it——how! you see not, knights!
Whence we must now draw strength. Send down your thoughts
