Bruttius ingenti miserandae caedis acervo, non aequum ostentans confosso corpore Martem, extulerat vix triste caput truncosque trahebat per stragem, nervis interlabentibus, artus; tenuis opum, non patre nitens linguave, sed asper ense; nec e Volsca quisquam vir gente redemit plus aevi nece magnanima.
Bruttius, whose wounded body showed his ill-fortune in the battle, slowly raised his head from a huge pile of hapless corpses, and dragged his mutilated limbs through the carnage with muscles that failed him from time to time. He had not wealth or noble birth or eloquence; but his sword was keen, and none of the Volscian people gained more glory than he by a heroic death.
