quem postquam florens aequali Lentulus aevo conspexit, nimium pugnae nimiumque cruoris infestas inter non aequo Marte catervas fata irritantem, nisu se concitat acri immitemque Bagam, qui iam vicina ferebat vulnera pugnantis tergo, velocior hasta occupat et socium duris se casibus addit.
While he, too eager for battle and bloodshed, defied Fortune on unequal terms among the hordes of the enemy, Lentulus, a youth of the same age, saw his plight and ran forward with a hasty effort against fierce Bagas, whose spear-point was close to the back of Lateranus as he fought. But Lentulus was quicker and drove his spear in first, and proved himself a friend in adversity.
