letique metu decora alta relinquam? quantum etenim distant a morte silentia vitae! nec tamen incautos laudum exhorresce furores; et nobis est lucis honos, gaudetque senecta gloria, cum longo titulis celebratur in aevo.
Am I, from fear of death, to abandon the heights of glory? How little does an obscure life differ from death! Yet fear not rashness in my ardour for renown: I too value life, and the hero finds pleasure in old age, when he is famed for great deeds in the autumn of life.
