Scene VI.—The Western side of the Granicus.
The Greek army approaches it.Alexander, Parmenio, and other Generals.
Par.
The crown of courage, boy, is self-restraint
When clamourers goad us. Pitch thy camp. They'll fly:
At dawn we pass the flood unquestion'd.
Alex.
Greeks!
To the water's edge! (To Parmenio.)
The morning sun would daze us:
This hour it spites the foe.
