at patres, quamquam exterrent immania coepta inque sinu bellum, atque Alpes et pervia saxa decepere, tamen crudam contra aspera mentem et magnos tollunt animos: iuvat ire periclis ad decus et dextra memorandum condere nomen, quale dedit numquam rebus Fortuna secundis.
But the Senate, though alarmed by the enemy at their doors and by his enormous enterprise, and disappointed by his passage over the Alps, nevertheless opposed the danger with unbroken spirit and high courage. They rejoice to march through peril to glory, and to build by strength of arm such a monument of fame as Fortune has never granted to prosperity.
