  1. redeat pietas virtusque viro.
  2. vel sit potius
  3. mens vesano concita motu:
  4. error caecus qua coepit eat;
  5. solus te iam praestare potest
  6. furor insontem: proxima puris
  7. sors est manibus nescire nefas.
  8. Nunc Herculeis percussa sonent
  9. pectora palmis,
  10. mundum solitos ferre lacertos
  11. verbera pulsent victrice manu;
  12. gemitus vastos audiat aether,
  13. audiat atri regina poli
  14. vastisque ferox
  15. qui colla gerit vincta catenis
  16. imo latitans Cerberus antro.
  17. Resonet maesto clamore chaos
  18. lateque patens unda profundi:
  19. et qui medius tua tela tamen
  20. senserat aer.
