o quantum terrae, quantum cognoscere caeli permissum est! pelagus quantos aperimus in usus! nunc forsan grave reris opus; sed laeta recurret cum ratis et caram cum iam mihi reddet Iolcon, quis pudor heu nostros tibi tunc audire labores! quam referam visas tua per suspiria gentes!    Nec passus rex plura virum sat multa parato in quaecumque vocas; nec nos, ait, optume, segnes credideris patriisve magis confidere regnis quam tibi, si primos duce te virtutis honores carpeve, fraternae si des adcrescere famae.
Lo! what mighty tracts of land, what vast expanse of sky it is granted us to know! To what great ends are we opening the paths of the sea! At this time perchance thou thinkest the labour too heavy: yet when the vessel shall speed joyfully home, and give me back my loved Iolcos, ah! how shalt thou be ashamed then to hear of all our toils, how shalt thou sigh as I tell of all the nations we have seen! The prince suffered him not to say more; Enough, enough! I am ready for anything to which thou callest. And think not, friend, he says, that I am a laggard, or that I trust more in the kingdom of my fathers than in thee, so but thou grant me to win beneath thy guidance the first rewards of my prowess, and to grow to the measure of a cousins fame.
