Cum sint autem meridianae nationes animis acutissimis infinitaque sollertia consiliorum, simul ad fortitudinem ingrediuntur, ibi succumbunt, quod habent exuctas ab sole animorum virtutes; qui vero refrigeratis nascuntur regionibus, ad armorum vehementiam paratiores sunt; magnis virtutibus sunt sine timore, sed tarditate animi sine considerantia inruentes sine sollertia suis consiliis refragantur.
Now while the southern peoples are of acute intelligence and infinite resource, they give way when courage is demanded because their strength is drained away by the sun; but those who are born in colder regions, by their fearless courage are better equipped for the clash of arms, yet by their slowness of mind they rush on without reflection, and through lack of tactics are balked of their purpose.
