paulum stetit anxius heros librabatque metus; premit aspera virgo: quid haeres? imus? an hi retinent manes, et vilior ille qui superest? miserum sociis opus et sua mandat proelia et unanimi vadit desertor amici, respiciens tamen et revocent si forte paratus.
A little while the hero stood, anxiously balancing his fears. The harsh maiden urges: Why do you hesitate? Do we go? Or does this corpse detain you and is he that still lives of less account? He hands over his sad work and his own battles to his comrades and leaves, deserting his bosom friend, yet looking back and ready if haply they should recall him.
