Hic atrox virtus'nec enim occuluisse probarim spectatum vel in hoste decus'clamore feroci Taurea tune, inquit, ferro spoliabis inultus te maiorem anima? et iusso lictore recisa ignavos cadet ante pedes fortissima cervix? haud umquam hoc vobis dederit deus.
But here Taurea,a brave in defiance'I cannot think it right to conceal a noble deed, even if done by an enemy'shouted out in anger: Will you take with the steel the life of one greater than yourself, and take it with impunity? Shall the lictor do your bidding and lay the severed head of a hero before the feet of cowards? Never shall Heaven give this power to the Romans.
