curandum in primis ne magna iniuria fiat
fortibus et miseris. tollas licet omne quod usquam est
auri atque argenti, scutum gladiumque relinques.
[et iaculum et galeam; spoliatis arma supersunt.]
Above all, care must be taken not to inflict great injury on the brave and the wretched.
You may take away all that exists of gold and silver, leaving behind the shield and sword.
[And the javelin and helmet; for the disarmed, weapons remain.]

cum plenus fluctu medius foret alveus et iam,
alternum puppis latus evertentibus undis,
arbori incertae, nullam prudentia cani
rectoris cum ferret opem, decidere iactu
coepit cum ventis, imitatus castora, qui se
eunuchum ipse facit cupiens evadere damno
testiculi; adeo medicatum intellegit inguen.
When the riverbed was full in the midst of the waves and now, with the waves overturning the sides of the boat alternately, with an uncertain tree [mast]—no wisdom guiding the helmsman when he brought help—it began to fall with the winds, imitating the beaver, which makes itself a eunuch wishing to escape the harm of the testicles; so much does it understand the medicine applied to the groin."
