At parte ex alia, qua saxa rotantia late impulerat torrens arbustaque diruta ripis, Arcadas insuetos acies inferre pedestris ut vidit Pallas Latio dare terga sequaci, aspera aquis natura loci dimittere quando suasit equos, unum quod rebus restat egenis, nunc prece, nunc dictis virtutem accendit amaris; quo fugitis, socii? per vos et fortia facta, per ducis Euandri nomen devictaque bella spemque meam, patriae quae nunc subit aemula laudi, fidite ne pedibus.
But in another part, Pallas saw his Arcadians turning to flight before pursuing Latium, where a torrent had driven rolling boulders far and wide, and bushes had been torn from the banks. The nature of the ground, which was roughened by waters, persuaded them to dismiss their horses on this occasion who were not used to charging on foot. This was the only hope in such straits. Now with entreaties, now with bitter words, he fires their courage and says "Friends, where are you running? I ask you to trust not to flight by your brave deeds, by your King Evander's name, by the wars you have won, and by my hopes now springing up to match my father's renown."
