Spes Tibi posta polo; sed lucens suevia flammis,
Et Patriae gemitus, denique tuta jubent.
Vidimus: invitam vix a Te barbarus aurem
Obtinet, et redimit conditione gravi.
Ferratos Trajani obices, et Dacica regna
Expetis, ut tanto limite tectus agas
At fato pensante vices saeu improba justas
victoris leges velle subire negat.
Arcanum venerare Dei. Deus impia corda
inflat, et in stimulos gensperitura ruit.
Tempus ad huc revocare gradum. Tua gloria salva est
Hostis in exitium poenituisse licet.
Utere Danubio, qui praebet terga carinis
imperio reddens sceptra vetusta novo.
Et duplices aquilae volitent, tua signa, perorbem.
Agnoscat volucres Roma secunda suas.
Et Constantini reddantur moenia christo
Noster Alexander talia bella rogat
Parte alia Rex Magne precor miserere gementum
Obsequere o fatis, altera cura poli.
Quid longe diversus abis, parvisque fatigas
Consiliis regni grandia membra tui?
Quantula pars mundi est ubi setua gloria versat?
An Tibi pro Nilo sara vel Illus erunt?
quantaecunque pares moli consumere vires
In minimis, hosti est gaudia ferre suo.
Nec tentare velis fatalis flumina Rheni,
Flumina Romano non bene pressa jugo.
Si tamen invitis coeptum succederet astris,
stragibus an tantis hoc meruisset emi?
Nec deserta voles florenti inducere terrae,
Nescit in Heroem tale venire nefas.
principis injussu per se ferus astra lacessit
Miles et aeternis vim facit imperiis.
hacra profana simul communis miscuit horror,
Haec sicam praefert dum manus, illa facem.
Aspice quam multos inter spelaea ferarum
Extorres tectis hauriat acris hyems,
Dilanient ve lapi pueros tenerasque puellas
Insuelosque mali sorbeat atra lues.
Ah quoties vacuo dum pendet abubere natus,
Et natien et natum nstalit una sames.
