'Videvi l' Ire rosse, come fuoco,
E le Paure pallide in quel loco.'
But Chaucer follows Statius still more closely. Ll. 1195-2012 answer to
Theb. vii. 48-53:--
--'caecumque Nefas, Iraeque rubentes,
Exsanguesque Metus, occultisque ensibus astant
Insidiae, geminumque tenens Discordia ferrum.
Innumeris strepit aula minis; tristissima Virtus
Stat medio, laetusque Furor, uultuque cruento
Mars armata sedet.'
