Sidoniusne puer, vix pubescente iuventa, Laurentes potuit populos et Troia adire moenia flaventemque sacro cum gurgite Thybrim et potuit Latium longo depascere bello? nos Libyae terris tramittere signa pigebit et Tyrias agitare domos? secura pericli litora lata patent, et opima pace quieta stat tellus.
If that Carthaginian boy, scarce entered upon manhood, could attack the Roman people, the walls of Rome, and the sacred stream of yellow Tiber'if he could feed on Latium during years of warfare, shall we shrink from sending an army across the sea to Africa, to flutter the dovecotes of Carthage? Their wide shores dread no danger; their land is undisturbed, and enriched by peace.
