IN CAUSA PUBZICAZ SALIB
DE NECESSITATE PERSEVERANIIAE
aVE DROSALUTE ESF, NEMLNEM LA5SES LABBK
Gentem maritimam Vahalis et Mosae accolam
(Avondam fuisse rara quam turris probat
Extans ab undis, quando depressae jarent)
Aggeribus amplis scaepe luctatam ferunt
Contra furorem fluminum, venti, maris.
Qvam crebra civi, crebra nox est ructiio
Vigilata, ne foramen aperirent aquae,
Lateque laetos verteret strages agros
Quam multa lapidum, ligni et argilla strues
Advecta venit viribus magnis equum.
Tumulanda in undis l nec locus sumtu vacat.
Tristis colonus sustineri longius
Impensa fructu posse redituro negat:
Partes iniquas alius injungi dolet,
Commune studio nec pari pelli malum.
Resonant querelae, vixque praeclarus Comes
Rectoragentis precibus et rationibus
Sustentat animos, dum salutis admonet,
Nec ipse noctu vel diu parcit sibi.
Tandem labore fractus et cura gravi
Victor perictis tunc triumphatis jacet.

Aliquamdiu memoria ad huc recens viri
Accendit animos, populus et superstites
Audit ministros, aurei secli genus.
Sceptrum capessit plansibus magnis soror
Fratremque vincit maximis successibus.
Immensa moles aggerum surgit polo,
Pelagoque reddit vertice ex alto minas.
Pedibusque fluctus proterit vanos suis.
Rex ipse ventes Aeolus frenis tenet
Arridet ether, omnia ex volo fluunt
Avin et vetustis fertur ex oraculis,
Si posset iri adusque promontorium,
dactisque in altum molibus jungi caput;
Aeterna tutae fulera regionis fore,
Felicitate provocantis sidera:
Vicinaque aderant prgnora ingentis boni.
Sed ecce fatis Nemesis incumbit solo
Megaera stygiis missa de vadis venit
Turbare mentes. Scelera pars ludum putat,
Alius saginam curat, et luxu fluens
In publica onera, quae parum sentit, tonat.
Tu cuncta verti quaeris, ut rebus novis
vane
Sublatus, habeas, quas perctas, opes
Teq ipsum in ipsis, quicquid et tecum trahes.
Venalis illic anima vendat patriam
Omnesque flavis posteros pro nummulis,
sinstarer
Nec credit ipsi perniciem  sibi.
Jam rara vitam turba Principiis agit
Rationis alimae: cuncta pessundat furor,
Multosque mens tenebrosa transversos agit.
mopet,
Consurgit ingens fremitus, et populos ciet
Lassos labore, fateor, et sumtu gravi,
Sed non ut annis pauculis restans onus
Certae saluti debitum sani negent,
Ai caecitas pararet exitio viam.

Megera in agros fusa Fartareum boat:
Avid stulte vitam patriae donas brevem.
wleneresque vitae? Patria sat stabit, scio,
olum tu jacebis. Fruere praesenti bono,
isos nostra, sectum posteri curent suum.
Satis peractum est, aggeres tanti probant
Monumenta nostri magna venturis mali.
uod si supremi meta promontorii
Nunc non adiri molibus junctis potest;
Habeant et alii, quo vices nostras agant.
racta firgunt, nostra qui sorbent bona;
Avi sponte miserum se facit liber, furit.
Temporibus istis proximam viciniam
Late tenebat Flandriae potens Comes
Populis subactis. Ille fortunae invidet
Gentis propinquae, sive virtuti magis.
Stimulat Megaera. Dominus addictos regens
Exemplo libertatis assitae pavet.
Emitlit ergo nuntios auro graves
Corrumpit animos, patria queis vilis jacet
Talesque passim voce rumores serit:
nhat tuta dudum litora habitatis viritz)
navod vos metuitis, secla vix centum dabunt;
out nempe Luna et Aeolus, Vahalis, Mosa,
Confoederentur cum tridentigero D eo.
Ergo timetis, credo, ne coelum ruat.
Negligite vanos ominis vates mali.
Interea Magnae Domina Concilium vocat
Fatale Gentis. Sre defensum boni
Populi salutem, sibilare viperis
Furiale monstrum. Fluctuant animi virum,
Ut dubia ventos inter oppostos stupens
Egnorat unda, quem ferat dominum maris.
Orator ecce moribus sanctis gravis
Meritisque surgens, talibus coetum ciet:
Est in propinquo meta, mox securitas
n Perpetua praesto est, et vocat sponsor Deus.

 Non absolutus recidet in vanum labor
n ut sisyphi revolutus in barathrum lapis.
nNox una vertet annis acta ter decem,
 Fatalis hora reddet ubi terras mari.
instate paulum, mox brevem constantiam
Finis coronat. Testor aternum patrem
Hominum Deumque, si marum remittitis,
Consilia prava recident in vestrum caput.
ninax tridentem jamque Neptunus quatit
Celtavit olim patriae Grajos amor
Romana gravitas dedit ex empla gentibus,
Victoriam esse, cedere haud unquam malis.
Ratio salutem publico innectit bono.
Moxtempus aderit, ut sacri vates canunt,
Europa quando jam prope accipiet jugum,
Virtus Britanna juncta ni Batavae vet et
Herous actis provocans veteres novis.
Ubi perseverant, hostis in leges venit;
nsin vim relaxent, omnia in praeceps dabunt.
Age ergo civis: arduam ne desere
Viam salutis, taud procul fastigio;
 Longique nisus perde ne fructum semel.
vis nuper ardor pectus animabat tuum 2
nlluam pulchra verba, qui regunt aulam, dabent.
tum se negabant cedere anterioribus
non prosequendo publici corpti gradu.
Cur tanta nunc promissa tam subito cadunt,
aUlnius anni nil retorquentis mojar
vin aucta spes est; prosper aspirat Deus
si nos moremur. Hostis in nobis latet,
Furorque savit intus ex ima styge.
Ergo experiemur, et petamus coelitus
Mentem serenam, maximum munus Deum.
Est ipsa Vritus visa per senem loqui,
Nebulisque pulsis sanitas animis redit.
Ni furia rursus artibus turbet novis.

P sendo propheta surgit et plebem levem
Jam fascinatam cerimoniis tenens,
Pacem Deorum spondet, et tuta omma,
Si gens profana possit excludi sacris.
Megara suflans rupsus in mentes redit.
Jam pro salute publica nugas agunt
Dejusque nugis: alius in alium furit.
Pars sanor recedit admonitu ominum.
Senaxqu libertatis ad Batavos abit.
Per aliquot annos improbi clavum regunt,
Opinione jamque felices sua
Spernunt prorum monita, et insultant binis.
Sed fata lento tacita subrepunt gradu,
Adestque tandem, cuncta quae vertat, dies.
Aequante libra notis et luiis vias,
Ardere visa Luna Neptunum vocat,
Furensque Caurus duplicat ponti metus.
Insolitus imber alveos graditur supra,
Suspensa in altum flumina haud ripas sciunt.
Oceanus ipse fluctibus vastis tumens
Minatur astris, et vetus tentat chaos.
Linquuntur animis accolae et casu stupent.
dnabsolutus agger obstabat male,
tandemque cedens aequor admittit solo,
Late ruina januam pelago facit.
Surdos colonus invocat sero Deos,
Frustraque palmas tendit ad coelum miser.
Ipsa est fuga intercepta; diluvium redit.
Colles teguntur; quisquis his steterat, natat.
Vivumque sorbet omne communis labes.
Subsidit ipsa terra, fit totum mare.

Gentem fuisse, Historia vix tristis docet,
Et quae tenuia indicia superextant aquis.
Vos queis diluvium, sed cruoris, imminet,
Et sub tyranno Rege servitium grave;
Felicitatem spondet at panmsa suntus brevis,
Si suit metis coepta, quae coelum probat:
Atlendite animis, fabula in vobis redit.
Pugnate monstro, quando longinquum venit.
Aperire pesti viscera, insana est quies H.
Pax una vera est, fractus hostis perfidus
ompune quam violare si cupiat, nequit.
Quod si monentes negligitis homines, Deos;
Praecepta dabitis gentibus vestro malo:
