Fratrum

CONSULATUM PANEGYRIS.

SOL, qui flammigeris mundum complexus habenis

Volvis inexhausto redeuntia secula motu,

Sparge diem meliore coma, crinemque repexi
Blandius elato surgant temone jugales,

Efflantes roseum frænis spumantibus ignem.
Jam nova germanis vestigia torqueat annus
Consulibus, lætique petant exordia menses.
Scis genus Auchenium, nec te latuere potentes
Anniada nam sæpe soles ductoribus illis

5

Instaurare vias, & cursibus addere nomen.

10

His neque per dubium pendet Fortuna favorem,

Nec novit mutare vices; sed fixus in omnes
Cognatos procedit honos, quemcumque requires
Hac de stirpe virum, certum est de Consule nasci.
Per fasces numerantur avi, semperque renata
Nobilitate virent, & prolem fata sequuntur,
Continuum simili servantia lege tenorem:

PANEGYRICK

ON THE

CONSULSHIP of PROBINUS and OLYBRIUS.

O SOL, whose reins of fire the world control;
Who, age on age, in lasting motion, roll:
Upon this day let bright resplendence shine,
That, sleek each mane, your coursers may incline,
The chariot-pole to raise and forward roam,
With breath of purple flame and mouths of foam.
Let consuls for the year one race bestow :
Commence the months with joys that freely flow.

To you Auchenius' line is fully known,

5

Nor less has Annius' pow'rful house been shown;
Beneath their auspices, you oft appear
To enter on your course, and name the year.

10

THEIR Weal the fickle goddess don't suspend,

Nor lets inconstancy her steps attend,

15

But, fixed her will in what regards the race,
Her honours all the progeny embrace.
Past consuls, these for fathers clearly count:
Their parents' ancestors by FASCES mount;
Nobility descends from son to son;

And FATE continues what was well begun.
