aetheriusque Platon, et qui fabricaverat illum damnatusque suas melius damnavit Athenas, Persidos et victor, strarat quae classibus aequor; Romanique viri, quorum iam maxima turba est, Tarquinioque minus reges et Horatia proles, tota acies partus, nec non et Scaevola trunco nobilior, maiorque viris et Cloelia virgo, et Romana ferens, quae texit, moenia Cocles, et commilitio volucris Corvinus adeptus et spolia et nomen, qui gestat in alite Phoebum, et Iove qui meruit caelum Romamque Camillus servando posuit, Brutusque a rege receptae conditor, et furti per bella Papirius ultor, Fabricius Curiusque pares, et tertia palma Marcellus Cossusque prior de rege necato, certantes Decii votis similesque triumphis,.
the inspired Plato and the man who had fashioned him, whose condemnation served rather to condemn his native Athens; and the conqueror of Persia, the land whose fleet covered the sea. There follow the warriors of Rome, whose host is now the largest; here are the kings save only Tarquin, here the Horatian brothers, a whole battle-line produced at a single birth, here also Scaevola, ennobled by his mutilated arm; Cloelia, a maid of more than manly courage, and Cocles, bearing as blazon the walls of Rome which he defended; Corvinus, winner of spoils and a name, aided in combat by a bird which hides beneath a birds exterior the godhead of Phoebus; Camillus, who by saving Joves Capitol won a place in heaven and in saving founded Rome; Brutus, the establisher of a city rescued from a king; Papirius, who avenged a treacherous defeat in open battle; Fabricius and Curius, a well-matched pair; Marcellus, third to win the palm of honour, and Cossus, who before him had stripped the spoil from a king he killed; and the Decii, rivals in their self-sacrifice and equals in their glory.
