praeterea, cernis, tenerae qui proelia dextrae iam credit puer atque annos transcendere factis molitur longumque putat pubescere bello, te duce primitias pugnae, te magna magistro audeat, et primum hoc vincat, servasse parentem.
Thou also observest that a boy, who already trusts in his youthful strength for warfare, and seeks to achieve greatness beyond his age, and believes that the right time for war is far away. Thou shalt become his guide when he earns his first honors in battle; thou shalt inspire him to accomplish great feats; and let his initial triumph be the salvation of his father.
