     Pectora diu tenet desiderium, simul inter
     Sese sic memorant, ' o Romule, Romule die,
     Qualem te patriae custodem di genuerunt!
     O pater o genitor o sanguen dis oriundum,
     Tu produxisti nos intra luminis oras.
     Romulus in caelo cum dis genitalibus aevum
     Degit.

     Nam quid in oppressu valido durabit eorum,
     ut mortem effugiat, leti sub dentibus ipsis?
     Ignis an umor an aura? quid horum? Sanguen an ossa?
     Nil ut opinor, ubi ex aequo res funditus omnis
     tam mortalis erit quam quae manifesta videmus
     ex oculis nostris aliqua vi victa perire.
