Et qui saepe universos ad fortiter faciendum hortabatur et singulos, tunc dissuasor pugnandi, contemptus videbatur et timidus, mortem fortasse metuens adventantem, ut in Tageticis libris legitur vel Vegoicis fulmine mox tangendos adeo hebetari, ut nec tonitruum nec maiores aliquos possint audire fragores.
And he that had often encouraged one and all to brave deeds, now advised against fighting and seemed despicable and timid'perhaps through fear of his coming death, as we read in the books of Tages or of Vegoe that those who are shortly to be struck by lightning are so dulled in their senses that they can hear neither thunder nor any louder crashes whatsoever.
