obrutus hic telis ferri per corpora Piso rectorem ut vidit Libyae, conixus in hastam ilia cornipedis subrecta cuspide transit collapsoque super nequiquam incumbere coeptat: cum Poenus, propere collecto corpore, quamquam cernuus inflexo sonipes effuderat armo: umbraene Ausoniae rediviva bella retractant post obitum dextra? nec in ipsa morte quiescunt? sic ait atque aegrum coeptanti attollere corpus arduus insurgens totum permiscuit ensem.
When Piso, buried beneath weapons, saw Hannibal riding over the dead, he raised himself with an effort on his lance and stabbed the horses belly with his uplifted point. When the beast fell, he tried in vain to bestride it. But Hannibal picked himself up in a moment, though the horse had thrown him when it fell sprawling on its head; and thus he spoke: Do the Roman ghosts come back again to life, to fight a second time? Can they not rest even in death? With these words he rose to his full height and, while Piso tried to lift his wounded limbs, plunged his sword in up to the hilt.
