Man, supposing you and I, escaping this battle,
would be able to live on forever, ageless, immortal,
so neither would I myself go on fighting in the foremost,
nor would I urge you into the fighting where men win glory.

in their thousands, no man can turn aside or escape them,
let us go on and win glory for ourselves, or yield it to others.
