Hominisne istud ingenium est, hominis potestas, renovare gaudia redintegrare laetitiam, nullamque requiem gratulationibus dare neque alia repetendis consulatibus intervalla permittere, nisi dum finiuntur? Facias ista semper, nec umquam in hoc opere aut animus tuus aut fortuna lassetur; des quam plurimis tertios consulatus, et cum plurimis tertios consulatus dederis, semper tamen plures quibus debeas dare supersint.
Surely some superhuman stroke of genius, some more than mortal power enables you to renew mens times of rejoicing and revive their happiness, to deny all respite to congratulations, and refuse to allow a break before the next consulship beyond the time spent on winding up the one before! May your work continue, and may your spirit and guiding fortune never tire; bestow third consulships on as many of us as possible, and when you have given all you can, may there ever be more of us to whom they should be given!
