Quin velis scribam quid habet novorum
Granta? Marlburus spoliis onustus,
Gallicas fudit propè ^[1]Scaldis undam
Strage Phalangas.

O! triumphalem gladium recondas!
Ite vos Laurus sanie rubentes!
Sis memor pacis, viridique cingas
Tempora Myrto!

Huc ades divûm atque hominum voluptas
Mollè subridens, Venus! huc sorores
Gratiæ! longùm vale O! Minerva
Aspera Virgo!

Barbaro tandèm satiata, Ludo
Ægidem ponas, gladiumque; castam
Virginem dirus gladius, feroxque
Dedecet Ægis.
