XLIV

Then, whirling up his broadsword With both hands to the height, He rushed against Horatius, And smote¹ with all his might. With shield and blade Horatius Right deftly² turned the blow. The blow, though turned, came yet too nigh； It missed his helm, but gashed³ his thigh⁴： The Tuscans raised a joyful⁵ cry To see the red blood flow.
