quid ego nunc agam, nisi uti sarcinam constringam et clupeum ad dorsum accomodem, fulmentas iubeam suppingi soccis? non sisti potest. 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
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. I see myself as a military drudge in a future not far: My master stepping into the service and nourishment of some king, I believe that with the mightiest warriors he will be the foremost in retreat And will seize spoils where someone shall come against my master.c. 195 BCE, Plautus, Trinummus 718–724
