Numquid non audisti quid ab initio fecerim? ex diebus antiquis plasmavi illud, et nunc adduxi: eruntque in ruinam collium pugnantium civitates munitæ.
Hast thou not heard what I have done from the beginning? from the days of old I have formed it, and now I have brought it to effect: that fenced cities of fighting men should be turned to heaps of ruins:
Numquid non audi quid ab initio fac? Ex dies antiquo plasma illo, et nunc adduce: et es in ruina de colles pugna civitates munie.
