sed cunctis Tydeus audentior actis incipit: o quam te parcum in praeconia famae mens agitat matura tuae, quantumque ferentem Fortunam virtute domas! cui cedat Adrastus imperiis? quis te solio Sicyonis avitae excitum infrenos componere legibus Argos nesciat? atque utinam his manibus permittere gentes, Iuppiter aeque, velis, quas Doricus alligat intus Isthmos et alterno quas margine summovet ultra.
But Tydeus, in every action the bolder, begins: Ah, how grudgingly does your ripe wisdom prompt you to proclaim your renown! How by virtue do you tame favouring Fortune! To whom should Adrastus yield in lordship? Who but knows that summoned from the throne of your ancestral Sicyon you bring law and order to unruly Argos?  And would that kind Jupiter might consign to these your hands the peoples that Dorian Isthmus binds within and those others that its further boundary removes on the far side.
