Line Commentary
A cry of alarm. Arms at evening and at night. Fear nothing. Readiness is everything. Resolution is bound up with caution. Watchful at all times, even before danger is present—you're armed when it approaches. Circumspect, never forgetting your armor: this is the right way to security.
