namque ubi iam viresque aegrae notusque recusat arcus et inceptus iam lancea temnit erilis, magnanimis mos ductus avis, haut segnia mortis iura pati, dextra sed carae occumbere prolis ense dato; rumpuntque moras natusque parensque, ambo animis, ambo miseri tam fortibus actis.
For when now their strength begins to fail and the well-known bow denies them and the lance despises the efforts of its lord, a custom have they, inherited from great-hearted sires of old, not to suffer the slow laws of death but to give a sword to their own dear offspring and die by his right hand; so child and parent break through delays, in courage both, in gallant deed both miserable.
