quae quia turpe putat templorum flere repulsam aegidaque in dubiis pro se pugnasse periclis dicere seque gravem senio inclinante fateri, ductores conplexa suos sic laeta profatur: O clari salvete duces, generosa propago principis invicti, sub quo senium omne renascens deposui vidique meam flavescere rursus canitiem: nam cum mortalia cuncta vetustas inminuat, mihi longa dies aliud parit aevum, quae vivendo diu didici contemnere finem.
Because she thinks it dishonourable to lament the rejection of her temples, to say that the aegis fought for her in times of anxious peril, and to admit that she is bowed under the weight of years, she embraces her leaders and thus in good heart declares: I greet you, renowned captains, noble sons of an unconquerable emperor under whom with life renewed I put old age entirely off and saw my gray hair turn again to gold; for though time reduces all mortal things, length of days brings forth for me a new life and I have learned by living long to defy death.
