at modo, cum motu vigeas iam puberis aevi fortiaque a teneris possis secernere et ipse admonitor morumque tibi fandique videri, accipe non praecepta equidem, set vota precantis et gratantis avi festum ad sollemne nepotis.
But now, when thou dost feel the stir and pulse of youth, and canst distinguish between the manly and the feeble and show thyself thine own councillor in behaviour as in speech, accept, not indeed precepts, but prayers of thy grandfather who entreats while rejoicing at the high festival of his grandsons birthday.
