Romans
Stanzas 1-4: Young Romans from the highest social classes should undergo tough military training so they can fight bravely to the death against Rome’s enemies.
Stanzas 5-6: Courage learnt in the military will be useful for civilian life. Some men are examples of this. Do not derive your sense of importance from political status but from your conduct – if you do so you will be among the gods.
Stanzas 7-8: Everyone can serve the Roman state through loyalty and discretion. If you fail to do so, you will be punished.
