AMBIORIX.
Med skellig grund.
Nidkær var Roma stedse for sin magt.
Og kom ihug at dette stolte rige
af høvdinger ej styres, som hos os.
Derhjemme råder vismand eller kriger, –
i kløgt den ypperste, i strid den største;
ham kårer vi til fører for vor stamme,
til dommer og til hersker for vort folk.
Men her –
AMBIORIX.
And with good reason.
Jealous was ever Rome of her great power.
And bear in mind, this proud and haughty realm
Is not by chieftains ruled, as is our land.
At home the wise man or the warrior reigns,--
The first in wisdom and in war the foremost;
Him choose we as the leader of our people,
As arbiter and ruler of our tribe.
