Vive, Midae gazis et Lydo ditior auro, Troica et Euphratae supra diademata felix, quem non ambigui fasces, non mobile vulgus, non leges, non castra terent, qui pectore magno spemque metumque domas voto sublimior omni, exemptus Fatis indignantemque refellens Fortunam; dubio quem non in turbine rerum deprendet suprema dies, sed abire paratum ac plenum vita.
Long life to you, richer than Midas treasures and Lydian gold, fortunate beyond the diadems of Troy and Euphrates. You shall not be chafed by the dubious rods, the fickle populace, the laws, the armies; for your great soul masters hope and fear, loftier than any desire, immune from the Fates and rebuffing indignant Fortune. Your final day shall not find you caught in the doubtful whirl of events, but ready to go, fed full with life.
