<<Exudent alii spirantia mollius aera, Credo equidem vivos ducem de marmore vultus, Orabunt causas melius, caelique meatus, Describent radio, et surgentia sidera dicent. Tu regere imperio populos, Romane memento, Hae tibi erunt artes, pacisque imponere morem, Parcere subjetis et debelare superbos>>
<<Let others sculpt a bronze that softens and breathe, Take living faces out of the marble, Fly higher in their eloquence, measure with the pointer the heavens and contemplate the stars, But your mission is, remember Roman people to rule the nations with your empire, to impose your knowledge on the world, to grant peace to the vanquished and to overwhelm the proud who oppose>>
