"The uncle of Arminius, Segestes, was inducted by Arminius into the rebellion and asked to join it. Due to the fact that he dreaded a war against the superior roman legions, he informed Varus about Arminius' plans..."
Segestes: “Varus, listen to me! Treason will befall you! Rebellion arises In the ranks of the tribes! Only one is the leader! His sword held high! The one is called Arminius!”
Varus: “Keep silent, Segestes! Guard your tongue! It seems to me That you are the one, The one who wants to betray me! Arminius is a loyal friend of Rome! Don’t you know What happens to liars? To liars like you?”
Segestes: “Believe me, Varus! Believe me! Or you will perish! Listen to me and you will live! Not one false word I told you! Not one false word passed my lips! Oh Believe me, Varus! Or you will perish! Listen to me and you will live! Not one false word I told you! Not one false word Passed my lips!”
Varus: “Out with you! Back to your heathens! Your words will never become true! Arminius is under protection of Rome! And I trust him eternally!”
Segestes left with sorrow in mind. He knew that blood will flow. Though I wanted to betray his tribe He joined the rebellion.
Arminius: “Brothers, we’re going to war! Brothers, we will never fall! Roman blood for our steel! We will have them kneel!”Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
