men take the spoils, but now it is cowards and weaklings that rob our homes, kidnap ourchildren and conscript our men.But what a tiny handful of invaders they are, if only we count up our own numbers! TheGermans threw off their yoke and they had only a river, not the ocean to protect them. Wehave our country, our wives and our parents to fight for. The Romans have nothing but greedand extravagance. They will return home, as Julius Caesar returned home, if only we canequal the bravery of our ancestors.
