153 ut – to be taken first; the word order emphasizes cautius (‘more cautiously’ than he otherwise would). saevo … Marti – ‘to savage warfare’.

154–5 haud ignarus eram – litotes*: ‘I knew full well’. quantum … posset – ‘how much influence (new glory etc.) could have’. praedulce decus – ‘very sweet honour’, a second subject of posset, parallel to nova gloria. Evander’s argument is that a young warrior’s first victory in battle can too easily go to his head and lead him to recklessness.
