saevus iam clamor et irae hinc atque inde calent; nullo venit ordine bellum, confusique duces vulgo, et neglecta regentum imperia; una equites mixti peditumque catervae et rapidi currus; premit indigesta ruentes copia, nec sese vacat ostentare nec hostem noscere.
Fierce now the clamour, anger grows hot on either side. The war comes in confusion. Officers are mingled with men, commanders orders neglected. Horse and foot and swift chariots are mixed up, an indiscriminate horde presses upon them as they run, there is no time to show oneself or to recognize an enemy.
