“DĀVUS: Hāc nōn successit; alia aggrediēmur via. / Nīsī id putās, quia prīmō prōcessit parum, / nōn posse iam ad salūtem convertī hoc malum.”
DAVUS: This didn’t succeed; we’ll try another way. Unless you think that because at first it made so little progress, this bad situation cannot now be turned to a favorable outcome.
