quid vota virum meliora moraris? scilicet ut vanis avibus natoque domoque et thalamis potiare iacens, sileamus inulti Tydeos egregii perfossum pectus et arma foederis abrupti? quod si bella effera Graios ferre vetas, i Sidonios legatus ad hostes: haec pacem tibi serta dabunt.
Why do you delay the better hopes of the brave? Forsooth, so that you may have your silly birds and your son and house and marriage chamber as you lie abed, are we to leave most noble Tydeus unavenged, naught saying of his pierced breast and the pact broken in arms? But if you forbid the Greeks to wage wild war, go you as envoy to our Sidonian foes. These chaplets will afford you peace.
