Tu tamen egregius fati mentisque nec umquam (sic dignum est) passure situm, qui comminus ausus vadere contemptum reges, quaque ampla veniret libertas, sancire viam: quo carmine dignam, quo satis ore tuis famam virtutibus addam, augur amate deis? non te caelestia frustra edocuit lauruque sua dignatus Apollo est, * * * * * et nemorum Dodona parens Cirrhaeaque virgo gaudebit tacito populos suspendere Phoebo.
But you, splendid of fate and soul nor ever to suffer oblivion (so tis meet), who dared go flout monarchs face to face and hallow a path for ample freedom'what song, what utterance of mine shall suffice to add due lustre to your merit, augur beloved of the gods? Not for nothing did Apollo teach you heavenly wisdom and judge you deserving of his laurel * * * and Dodona, mother of groves, and the Cirrhean maiden in Apollos silence shall be glad to hold the peoples in suspense.
