His avide auditis, ductor sic deinde profatur: quid tibi pro tanto non impar munere solvat Hannibal aequatus superis? quae praemia digna inveniam, Carthago parens? noctemque diemque arma feram; templisque tuis hinc plurima faxo hostia ab Ausonio veniat generosa Quirino.
Hannibal listened eagerly to the message and thus replied: O Mother Carthage, you have set me on a level with the gods,b and how shall I repay you in full for such generosity? What sufficient recompense can I find? I shall fight on, night and day, and many a high-born victim from the people of Quirinusc shall I send from this place to your temples.
