Quo, quo scelesti ruitis? aut cur dexteris
aptantur enses conditi?
parumne campis atque Neptuno super
fusum est Latini sanguinis,
5
non ut superbas invidae Karthaginis
Romanus arces ureret,
intactus aut Britannus ut descenderet
sacra catenatus via,
sed ut Secundum vota Parthorum sua
10
Vrbs haec periret dextera?
neque hic lupis mos nec fuit leonibus
umquam nisi in dispar feris.
furorne caecos an rapit vis acrior
an culpa? responsum date.
15
tacent et albus ora pallor inficit
mentesque perculsae Stupent.
sic est: acerba fata Romanos agunt
scelusque fraternae necis,
ut inmerentis fluxit in terram Remi
20
sacer nepotibus cruor.
