Ingens ferre mala et Fortunae subdere colla nescius, adversa fronte incurrebat in arma vincentum consul; pereundi Martius ardor atque animos iam sola dabat fiducia mortis; cum Viriathus agens telis, regnator Hiberae magnanimus terrae, iuxta atque ante ora furentis obtruncat Pauli fessum certaminis hostem.
Mighty in endurance and incapable of bending the neck to Fortune, Paulus rushed right against the weapons of the victorious foe. Nothing gave him confidence now but his longing for a soldiers death, and his certainty that he must die. Then Viriathus,b the high-souled ruler of a Spanish kingdom, drove before him a war-wearied Roman and slew him under the eyes of the consul and close beside him.
