quid enim te castra petente non vel ad ignotos ibam comes impiger Indos Cimmeriumque chaos? starem prope bellica regis signa mei, seu tela manu seu frena teneres armatis seu iura dares, operumque tuorum, etsi non socius, certe mirator adessem.
Why was I not your brisk companion as you went to war, were it even to unknown India or Cimmerian darkness? I should be standing by my patrons martial standard, whether you held weapons or reins in your hand or gave judgment to men in arms, and if not as a partner in your works, I should at least be there to admire them.
