heu quid agat? populumne levem veterique tyranno infensum atque olim miserantes Aesona patres advocet? an socia Iunone et Pallade fretus armisona speret magis et freta iussa capessat, siqua operis tanti domito consurgere ponto fama queat? tu sola animos mentesque peruris, Gloria! te viridem videt immunemque senectae Phasidis in ripa stantem iuvenesque vocantem.
Alas! what is he to do? Shall he summon to his aid a fickle populace, already girding at their aged lord, and the elders that long since have pitied Aeson? Or shall he trust rather to the aid of Juno and Pallas of the ringing armour, and launch forth at the kings command, if haply, the sea subdued, some renown could arise from so great a task? Thou, Glory, thou alone dost fire mans hearts and minds! thee he beholds fresh, untouched by time, standing upon the shore of Phasis, calling to the young heroes.
