Metamorphoses - Book 15:835

Livia's son to adopt his name with the cares of his
office.
Only when he has come to Pylian Nestor's years
shall he rise to our home in the heavens and join the
star of his kinsman.
Meanwhile you must rescue his father's soul from his
cut-ridden body
and make him a comet, that deified Julius' image may always
gaze on my Capitol Hill from the height of his shrine in
the Forum.
