ille gravatis molem immensam umeris et vix tractabile pondus imposuit (nec enim numerosior altera sacra cura domo), magnum late dimittere in orbem Romulei mandata ducis, viresque modosque imperii tractare manu: quae laurus ab Arcto, quid vagus Euphrates, quid ripa binominis Histri, quid Rheni vexilla ferant, quantum ultimus orbis cesserit et refugo circumsona gurgite Thule; omnia nam laetas pila attollentia frondes nullaque famosa signatur lancea penna.
On these burdened shoulders he placed an enormous load, a weight almost beyond bearing. For no other charge in the sacred dwelling is so manifold: to send out the commands of the Romulean leader all over the great world and handle in writing the powers and modes of empire'what laurelled message comes from the north, what wandering Euphrates brings, or the bank of binamed Hister, or the standards of Rhine, how far the worlds end has retreated and Thule surrounded by her roaring reflux; for every spear comes lifting joyous leaves aloft and no lance is marked with infamous feather.
