He will be known as the Maecenas of this era, and from century to century, this glory will be constantly renewed. Your name will be in the memory and on the lips of all men for as long as the sun illuminates the universe.
Effect of this speech
I wonder what effect this speech will have among the great ones of our time. But I well know that it will be very advantageous if their generosity approaches that of Octavius and Maecenas. Neither of these great men needed to be impelled to altruism, and they are spoken of only to convey a symbolic message to others, without taking it literally.

Notes
Livia, known in full as Livia Drusilla, or Diva Iulia Augusta following her deification, born on January 30, 58 BC and died September 29, AD 29, was a Roman empress. Daughter of senator Marcus Livius Drusus Claudianus, she married Tiberius Claudius Nero in 43 BC, with whom she had two children, Drusus and the future Emperor Tiberius. Her second marriage to Octavius solidified the alliance of the Julii and Claudii: for this reason, the first five Roman emperors are called the Julio-Claudians.
Maecenas was a Roman politician and a confidant of Emperor Octavius, famous for dedicating his fortune and influence to promoting the arts and letters. He played a significant role with his social influence in Octavius' rise to power. His name is now used adjectively to refer to a person who financially or materially aids the development of the arts and sciences.
Octavius, then known as Augustus upon his death on August 19, 14 AD in Nola, was the first Roman emperor, serving from January 16, 27 BC to August 19, 14 AD. He was the nephew and adopted son of Julius Caesar. He was advised several times during his rule by Maecenas and Agrippa, who greatly assisted him during periods of doubt.
Agrippa, or Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, born around 63 BC and died in March of 12 BC, was a Roman general and politician educated alongside young Caius Octavius Thurinus, the future Emperor Octavius. His personal journey intertwines from 44 BC onwards with that of Julius Caesar's grand-nephew and adopted son. As a faithful lieutenant, builder, warrior, son-in-law, and presumptive heir to the Empire, Agrippa was involved in all the military and political battles of his closest friend.
The Muses, in Greek mythology, are the nine daughters of Zeus, father of the gods, and Mnemosyne, goddess of memory, who preside over the liberal arts, notably poetry.
