maxime Teucrorum ductor, quo sospite numquam res equidem Troiae victas aut regna fatebor, nobis ad belli auxilium pro nomine tanto exiguae vires; hinc Tusco claudimur amni, hinc Rutulus premit et murum circumsonat armis.
Mightiest captain of the Teucrians'for while you live, I will never admit that the power and realm of Troy have been vanquished'our strength to aid in war is weak to match such a name as ours. On this side we are hemmed in by the Tuscan river; on that the Rutulian presses hard and thunders in arms about our wall.
