arma etiam et veterum exuvias circumdat avorum gloria mixta malis afflictaeque ambitus aulae, ceu grande exsequiis onus atque immensa ferantur membra rogo, sed cassa tamen sterilisque dolentes fama iuvat, parvique augescunt funere manes.
Glory mingling with distress and pride of the afflicted palace places arms too and trappings of ancient forbears around the bier, as though a great load was being borne to burial, a vast body for the pyre; vain and barren fame yet pleases the grieving and the tiny dead grows bigger by his funeral.
