auctores generis Venerem Martemque fatemur, Aeneadum matrem Romulidumque patrem: mitigat armatas victrix clementia vires, convenit in mores nomen utrumque tuos: hinc tibi certandi bona parcendique voluptas: quos timuit superat, quos superavit amat.
As authors of our race we acknowledge Venus and Mars'mother of the sons of Aeneas, father of the scions of Romulus: clemency in victory tempers armed strength: both names a befit thy character: hence thy noble pleasure in war and in mercy: it vanquishes the dreaded foe and cherishes the vanquished.
