That enemy which with their eyes open and awake you so baffled, it is incumbent on you now to beguile, buried, as they are, in sleep; nay, it is absolutely necessary.

For our affairs are in that situation, that I am rather to point out to you your necessity than to propose advice.

For whether you are to remain or to depart hence, can no longer be matter of deliberation, since, with the exception of your arms, and courage mindful of those arms, fortune has left you nothing, and we must die of famine and thirst, if we are more afraid of the sword than becomes men and Romans.

Therefore our only safety is to sally forth from this and to depart.

That we must do either by day or by night.
