Excerpt from Translations From Prudentius: A Selection From His Works, Rendered in English Verse With an Introduction and Notes
One I remember in my youth was great, In arms no firmer bulwark of the State; In council sage to plead, to frame her laws, And true, but in Religion, to her cause. Shrines of a thousand deities he trod, Faithful to Rome though faithless to his God.
