The machine reads it as

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