Romano generi dum nititur esse superstes, crudelis summis miscuit ima furor; dumque timet quicquid se fecerat ipse timeri, immisit Latiae barbara tela neci: visceribus nudis armatum condidit hostem, illatae cladis liberiore dolo.
As he strove to live longer than the Roman race, b his cruel frenzy turned the world upside down, and, while fearing that wherein he had made himself formidable, c he let loose the arms of the barbarians to the death of Latium: he plunged an armed foe in the naked vitals of the land, his craft being freer from risk than that of openly inflicted disaster.
