vi pugnando periuriis nostris fugae potiti.
id virtute huius collegae[21] meaque comitate
factumst. qui me vir fortior ad sufferundas plagas?

All these regiments, battalions, and armies of theirs
have been put to flight, after fierce fighting, by our
fabrications. 'Tis the valour of my colleague hath done
it, with my own kind assistance. Who's a stouter-hearted
hero than I am at taking thwacks?

_Leon._

Edepol virtutes qui tuas non possis conclaudare
sic ut ego possim, quae domi duellique male fecisti.
ne illa edepol pro merito tuo memorari multa possunt: 560

(_sneeringly_) Good Lord! Your deeds of valour--you couldn't
celebrate them the way I could your villainies at home and
in the field. Gad! you certainly can be acredited with a
lengthy list of things along that line.

ubi fidentem fraudaveris, ubi ero infidelis fueris,
ubi verbis conceptis sciens libenter periuraris,
ubi parietes perfoderis, in furto ubi sis prehensus,
ubi saepe causam dixeris pendens adversus octo
artutos, audacis viros, valentis virgatores.

Item, cheated a confiding friend; item, faithless to master;
item, committed perjury consciously, cheerfully, in set form
of words; item, dug your way into houses through the walls;
item, caught at thieving; item, strung up repeatedly and
plead your case before eight bold, brawny beef-eaters with
a gift for club swinging.

_Lib._

Fateor profecto ut praedicas, Leonida, esse vera;
verum edepol ne etiam tua quoque malefacta iterari multa
et vero possunt; ubi sciens fideli infidus fueris,
ubi prensus in furto sies manifesto et verberatus,[22] 569
ubi eris damno, molestiae et dedecori saepe fueris, (571)

I am quite ready to admit that is a just statement of
the case, Leonida; but, Lord! the list of even your own
villainies, too, can certainly be made lengthy enough,
without injustice. Item, consciously treacherous to a
trusting friend; item, caught stealing redhanded and
whipped; item, repeatedly brought loss, trouble, and
disgrace on your masters;

ubi creditum quod sit tibi datum esse pernegaris,[23] (572)
ubi saepe ad languorem tua duritia dederis octo (574)
validos lictores, ulmeis adfectos lentis virgis.
num male relata est gratia, ut collegam collaudavi?
