Iustum et tenacem propositi virum

non civium ardor prava iubentium,

non voltus instantis tyranni

mente quatit solida neque Auster,

dux inquieti turbidus Hadriae,

nec fulminantis magna manus Iovis:

si fractus inlabatur orbis,

inpavidum ferient ruinae.

hac arte Pollux et vagus Hercules

enisus arcis attigit igneas,

quos inter Augustus recumbens

purpureo bibet ore nectar,
