nec mirum: non te series inhonora parentum obscurum proavis et priscae lucis egentem plebeia de stirpe tulit; non sanguine cretus turmali trabeaque recens et paupere clavo augustam sedem et Latii penetrale senatus advena pulsasti, sed praecedente tuorum agmine.
And no wonder. No unhonored line of forbears brought you from plebeian stock, obscure of ancestry and lacking ancient glory. Not born of equestrian blood, fresh from trabea and pauper stripe, did you knock as a newcomer at the august abode, the sanctuary of Latiums Senate; a troop if kinsfolk came before you.
