huic obvia limina pandit qui fessus bellis adscitae munere prolis primus iter nostris ostendit in aethera divis; discit et e vultu quantum tu mitior armis, qui nec in externos facilis saevire furores das Cattis Dacisque fidem: te signa ferente et minor in leges gener et Cato Caesaris irent.
Here opens wide his facing threshold he that weary of wars first showed our divinities the way to heaven by the gift of his adopted son. From your countenance he learns how much gentler in arms are you, that find it hard to rage even against foreign fury, giving quarter to Cattians and Dacians. Had you borne the standard, his lesser son-in-law and Cato would have submitted to Caesars ordinances.
