Sed mihi tam subiti concusso sorte pericli, quo me intra urbem percelli posse viderem, subrepsit, fateor, nimium trepido novus error, ut me praesidio regis dudum mihi cari, cuius nos populus longa obsidione premebat, urbe a obsessa sperarem abscedere posse agmine carorum magno comitante meorum, hac tamen hos nostros spe sollicitante paratus, quod scirem imperio gentis cogente Gothorum invitum regem populis incumbere nostris.
But in my alarm at the hap of so sudden a danger by which I saw I might be stricken down within the city, there entered into me'too fearful, I admit'a new error of judgment, leading me to hope that under the protection of the king, long since my friend, whose people were afflicting us with the long siege, I might be able to escape from the besieged city together with the large train of my dear ones: and yet this hope induced this attempt of mine, because I knew that twas by the constraining will of the Gothic host that the king reluctantly oppressed our folk.
