Iamque aderat multa vix agnoscendus in umbra Paulus et epoto fundebat sanguine verba: lux Italum, cuius spectavi Martia facta, multum uno maiora viro, descendere nocti atque habitanda semel subigit quis visere regna? cui contra tales effundit Scipio voces: armipotens ductor, quam sunt tua fata per urbem lamentata diu! quam paene ruentia tecum traxisti ad Stygias Oenotria tecta tenebras! tum tibi defuncto tumulum Sidonius hostis constituit laudemque tuo quaesivit honore.
Next Paulus came, hard to recognize in the dim light, and drank of the blood, and spoke thus: Bright star of Italy, whose martial feats, too great by far for a single arm, these eyes beheld,a who forces you to descend into darkness and to visit this realm where those who enter must dwell for ever? Scipio spoke thus in answer: O mighty captain, how long did all Rome mourn your death! How nearly you carried down the Roman city in your fall to Stygian darkness! Also the Carthaginian, our foe, built a tomb for your dead body and sought to gain glory by honouring you.
