With their spears at hand. Explanation: A lo que se refiere el autor es que tanto Castor como Pollux llevan sus lanzas listas para ser usadas. Las respuestas ofrecidas con anterioridad no tienen sentido ni significado en inglés. |

ready for action; lance at the ready Explanation: Literalmente en este caso, "lance(s) (como son dos) at the ready", como los caballeros al participar en justas; idiomáticamente, también significa "ready for action." Como van montados en caballos, la lanza no es un "spear", sino "lance." |
