bella nova in Libyae moliris ducere terras? hostis enim deest Ausoniae? nec vincere nobis est satis Hannibalem? petitur quae gloria maior litore Elissaeo? stimuli si laudis agunt nos, hanc segetem mete, composuit propioribus ausis dignum te Fortuna parem.
Do you intend, Scipio, to carry a fresh campaign to Libya? Is Italy free from the enemy, and is it not enough for us to defeat Hannibal? What higher prize than that is offered by the Libyan shore? If glory is our motive, here is the field for you to reap. Nearer home, Fortune has pitted against you a foeman worthy of your steel.
