Quodsi quis barbarus rex eo insolentia furorisque processerit, ut iram tuam indignationemque mereatur, ne ille sive interfuso mari seu fluminibus immensis seu praecipiti monte defenditur, omnia haec tam prona tamque cedentia virtutibus tuis sentiet, ut subsedisse montes, flumina exaruisse, interceptum mare inlatasque sibi non classes nostras sed terras ipsas arbitretur.
but now, if some native king shall presume so far in his folly as to call down your just wrath and indignation on his head, though he be defended by the seas between, the mighty rivers or sheer mountains, he will surely find that all these barriers yield and fall away before your prowess, and will fancy that the mountains have subsided, the rivers dried up and the sea drained off, while his country falls a victim not only to our fleets but to the natural forces of the earth!
