nam turbidus ira infensusque morae dilata ob proelia ductor: sicine, sic, inquit, grates pretiumque rependis, Paule, tui capitis? meruerunt talia, qui te legibus atque urnae dira eripuere minanti? tradant immo hosti revocatos ilicet enses, tradant arma iube, aut pugnantum deripe dextris.
For Varro, in fierce anger and resenting the postponement of battle, addressed him thus: Is this the way, Paulus, you show gratitude and repay me for saving your life? Is this the reward of those who rescued you from the laws and from a jury that meant mischief?b Better bid our men at once surrender to the foe the swords and weapons which you called back from battle; or snatch them yourself from their grasp.
