The Aeneid by Virgil
For other peoples will, I do not doubt,
Still cast their bronze to breathe with softer features,
Or draw out of the marble living lines,
Plead causes better, trace the ways of heaven
With wands and tell the rising constellations;
But yours will be the rulership of nations,
Remember, Roman, these will be your arts:
To teach the ways of peace to those you conquer,
To spare defeated peoples, to tame the proud.
