Book VI, Epigram 83 (Ker)

As much as his father's fortunes owe to Etruscus' solicitude, so much both father and son, illustrious chief, owe to thee. For thou hast recalled the bolts by thy right hand hurled; I could pray that Jove's fire possessed such gentleness! Were thy nature, Caesar, the almighty Thunderer's, rarely shall his hand employ his bolts' full force. To thy bounty, Etruscus ascribes a two-fold boon: partnership in his sire's exile, and his sire's return.
