nec tibi nunc ritus imitantem irasque ferarum Pygmalioneam tentarem expromere gentem, si maius quicquam toto vidisset in orbe gens hominum, quam quod vestri veneranda parentis edidit exemplum virtus: pudet addere questus suppliciis, quae spectavi placido ore ferentem.
Nor would I now essay to tell you how the people of Carthagea behaved with the cruelty of wild beasts, if mankind had ever seen in any part of the world a nobler example than was set by the splendid courage of your father. I am ashamed to complain of tortures which I saw him endure with cheerfulness.
