"Others, I believe, will beat out bronze that seems
to breathe and chisel living faces out of marble.
They'll excel in pleading lawsuits, and they'll trace
the heavens' paths and chart the rising stars
You, Roman, remember your own arts: to rule
the world with law, impose your ways on peace,
grant the conquered clemency, and crush the proud in war."
