Haydock's commentary
Up. Hebrew, "frighten," (Haydock) or "make him leap." (Bochart) (Calmet)
Nostrils. Septuagint, "of his chest, or shoulders, is boldness." (Haydock)
This inspires the rider with courage, and the enemy with fear. But the Vulgate is more followed. (Calmet)
Frænoque teneri
Impatiens crebros expirat naribus ignes. (Silius vi.)
