quantos, insane, ciebis Varro viros, tu (pro superi!) tam pronus in arma! tu campum noscas ante exploresque trahendo, qui ritus hostis? tu non, quae copia rerum, quae natura locis, quod sit, rimabere sollers, armorum genus, et stantem super omnia tela fortunam aspicies.
What mighty opponents will you rouse, Varro'you, God help us!'in your mad desire for battle! Are you the man to study the ground beforehand and examine at leisure the ways of the enemy? You have no skill to investigate his supplies or the strength of his position or his method of warfare; you will not keep an eye on Fortune which matters more than any weapon.
