Tu ne rogari quidem sustinuisti et quamquam laetissimum oculis tuis esset conspectu Romanae sobolis impleri, omnes tamen ante quam te viderent adirentve, recipi incidi iussisti, ut iam inde ab infantia parentem publicum munere educationis experirentur, crescerent de tuo qui crescerent tibi, alimentisque tuis ad stipendia tua pervenirent, tantumque omnes uni tibi quantum parentibus suis quisque deberent.
You, however, would permit no requests. Though your eyes might be gladdened by the sight of the rising generation of Rome, you gave orders that every child must be admitted and enrolled before seeing or approaching you, so that henceforward reared on your bounty from their earliest days, all should know you as the Father of the people; they should grow at your expense while they were growing up to serve you, pass from a childs allowance at your hands to a soldiers pay, each owing as much to you as to his own parents.
