et quamlibet posset triumphalibus adoreis familiae tuae defetigari, non tamen eatenus explicandis antiquorum stemmatibus exinaniretur, ut ob hoc ad narrandam gloriam tuam fieret obtusior; qui, si etiam in scribendis maiorum tuorum virtutibus fuisset hebetatus, tuis denuo meritis cacuminaretur.
And although it might well have been worn out by all the triumphal honours of your family, it would not therefore have been so exhausted by unfolding your genealogy as to become numbly apathetic to a record of your own glory; for even if it had been dulled in describing the virtues of your ancestors, it would have been sharpened afresh by your merits.
