These two fortresses it was Piccinino's intention to surprise; and he thought it would be no difficult matter to effect it, considering the negligence and security of the garrison, which in all probability would be increased by the late victory; and because he knew by experience that no enterprise was more likely to succeed than one that was judged impracticable by the enemy. Having therefore drawn out a picked body of men for this purpose, he advanced in the dead of night on the walls of Verona, and making a sudden scalado upon the new citadel he carried it almost before the enemy knew anything of the matter. But the sentinels of the old citadel hearing the outcries of those that had been surprised in the new one, at last perceived the enemy was upon them and immediately gave the alarm.

(a) Quid referam veteres Romanae gentis, apud

quos

Exulibus tellus ultima Tibur erat?

Persequar ut cunctos, nulli datus omnibus

aevis

Tam procul a patria est horridiorve locus.
Nec tamen infitior, si possint nostra coire
Vulnera, praeceptis posse coire tuis;
Sed vereor, ne me frustra servare labores,
Neu iuver admota perditus aeger ope.
Nec loquor haec, quia sit maior prudentia
nobis,

Sed sum quam medico notior ipse mihi.
Ut tamen hoc ita sit, munus tua grande
voluntas

Ad me pervenit, consuliturque boni.

(b) Ceterum tanta fuga ex urbe facta erat, ut quia multis actiones et res peribant, cogerentur praetores T. Maenius et M. Licinius per senatum res in diem tricesimum differre, donec quaestiones a consulibus perficerentur. Eadem solitudo, quia Romae non respondebant, nec inveniebantur quorum nomina delata erant, coegit consules circa fora proficisci ibique quaerere et iudicia exercere. Qui tantum initiati erant, et ex carmine sacro praeeunte verba sacerdote precationes fecerant, in quibus nefanda coniuratio in omne facinus ac libidinem continebatur, nec earum

ullam, in quas iureiurando obligati erant, in se aut alios admiserant, eos in vinculis relinquebant: qui stupris aut caedibus violati erant, qui falsis testimoniis, signis adulterinis, subiectione testamentorum, fraudibus aliis contaminati, eos capitali poena adficiebant.

(a) Vix tandem, magnis Ithaci clamoribus actus,
Composito rumpit vocem, et me destinat arae.
Adsensere omnes, et, quae sibi quisque timebat,
Unius in miseri exitium conver-a tulere.
Iamque dies infanda aderat ; mihi sacra parari,
Et salsae fruges, et circum tempora vittae.
Eripui, fateor, leto me, et vincula rupi;
Limosoque lacu per noctem obscurus in ulva
Delitui, dum vela darent, si forte dedissent.
Nec mihi iam patriam antiquam spes ulla
videndi,

Nec dulces natos exoptatumque parentem ;
Quos illi fors et poenas ob nostra reposcent
Effugia, et culpam hanc miserorum morte
piabunt.

(b) Haec loca vicinitatibus erant nota, magnamque res diligentiam requirebat non in summa exercitus tuenda (nullum enim poterat universis ab perterritis ac dispersis periculum accidere), sed in singulis militibus conservandis; quae tamen ex parte res ad salutem exercitus pertinebat. Nam et praedae cupiditas multos longius evocabat, et silvae incertis occultisque itineribus confertos adire prohibebant. Si negotium confici stirpemque hominum sceleratorum interfici vellet, dimittendae plures manus diducendique erant milites : si continere ad signa manipulos vellet, ut instituta ratio et consuetudo exercitus Romani postulabat, locus ipse erat praesidio barbaris, neque ex occulto insidiandi et dispersos circumveniendi singulis deerat audacia.
