[6]
Such is the
pride of birth that belongs to the ancestors of these men throughout the ages.
As for Courage and the other elements of virtue, I shrink from rehearsing the
whole story, being on my guard for fear an untimely length shall attach to my
speech ,1 but such facts as it is
worth while even for those who are familiar with them to recall to mind and most
profitable for the inexperienced to hear,2 events of
great power to inspire and calling for no tedious length of speech, these I
shall endeavor to rehearse in summary fashion.3
