But now, what language can be found equal to the valour of Cnaeus Pompeius? What statement
can any one make which shall be either worthy of him, or new to you, or unknown to any one?
For those are not the only virtuous of a general which are usually thought
so,—namely, industry in business, fortitude amid dangers, energy in acting, rapidity
in executing, wisdom in foreseeing; which all exist in as great perfection in that one man as
in all the other generals put together whom we have either seen or heard of.
