video caculam militarem me futurum hau longius:
atque aliquem ad regem in saginam si eru’ se coniexit meus,
credo ad summos bellatores acrem – fugitorem fore
et capturum spolia ibi illum qui meo ero advorsus venerit.- What do I do now, if not to pack my knapsack, fit my shield on my back, and let fasten the heels under the shoes? It cannot be stopped.

And will seize spoils where someone shall come against my master.
