contra quae ductor (non Alpibus ille nec ullo turbatus terrore loci, sed languida maestis corda virum fovet hortando revocatque vigorem): non pudet obsequio superum fessosque secundis, post belli decus atque acies, dare terga nivosis montibus et segnes summittere rupibus arma? nunc, o nunc, socii, dominantis moenia Romae credite vos summumque Iovis conscendere culmen.
But their general would have none of it'he was not terrified by the Alps or all the horror of the place; and his words raised the courage of his men and revived their energy when they were faint with fear. Shame on you, he cried, to grow weary of success and Heavens favour, and, after glorious victories in the field, to retreat now before snow-clad mountains, cowed and beaten by cliffs! Now, comrades, now'believe that you are even now scaling the walls of imperial Rome and the lofty hill of Jupiter.
