Difficili elactans meliora in tempora secle
Destinat exhausti fructum gustare laboris
jamque iter Italicum respiraturus adoruat.
Certus ubi motu vires recreasset amato
Redditus in patriam, vivendi vertere morem,
Et spatio turbasque inter mortemque relicto
Collectis ad majus iter se accingere vasis
Ac si quid superest verae praeludere nitae
Annuit omnipotens animae tam justa petenti
votaque praeveniens nullo languore solutam
Sustulit ex oculis, summaque in sede recepit
sive deo plenam visum est matura mereri
Pramia, seu spretum tantae virtutis honorem
perdimus ingrati: seu nobis astra minantur
subducuntque Viros poenam pietate morantes.
quicquid id est, luimus. Te quod reor, optimeprincess,
Jamdudum indignis coelestis regia terriq
Invidet et sanctae properavit gaudia menti.
Sed non totus abes. Superat tua gloria mortem
Quamque diu niveus per campum victor apertum
ibit equas, laetoque dabit sua jura Visurgi,
Lunaeburgiacis pars magna notabere fastis;
Consiliisque tuis felix per sera fruetur
Secula posteritas  veris foecunda triumphis.
Et poterit magnos Orbi renovare Leones.
Ast pos, o cires, qui patrem in Principe fletis
Da lacrymis pia turba modum, finemque dolori
lacatosque agnosce Deos, ubi maximus heros
Successor data sceptra carit, melioribus astris
plaudentesque beat populos, et sueta trophaeis
Obvia felices inter rapit agmina palmas.
Quelficus aeternis sacro de corpore ramis
sanguis, semideum ex Aiegusto fonte perennet
Eruestumque caput gentis ferat, omne peraerum
