The armies separated & it is said,
Pyrrhus replied to one that gave him
joy of his victory that one other such
victory would utterly undo him.
For he had lost a great part of the forces
he brought with him & almost all
his particular friends and principal
commanders; there were no others
there to make recruits, and he found
the confederates in Italy backward.
On the other hand, as from a fountain
continually flowing out of the city,
the Roman camp was quickly &
plentifully filled up w/ fresh men,
not at all abating in courage for the
loss they sustained, but even from their
very anger gaining new force &
resolution to go on w/ the war.
