[An army is exercĭtus—it causes great dismay]
An army is exercĭtus—it causes great dismay;And hostis means the enemy that should be kept at bay;
And agmen means the army when it marches on its way,
And acies the army in its battle-field army,
And copia the armed force which makes a great display.
An arrow's sagitta, and nervus a string;
A bow is called arcus, and funda's a sling.
