URnam moventi Sostratus Aeaco
Ausus profanum mittere jurgium,
Vitámque tutari nocentem,
Sacrilego petit ore Coelum:

Causatus ipsum Numen, & impiis
Necessitatem criminis inditam,
Legésque nascendi, suámque
Non sine Diis animam nocentem.

Authore Fato scilicet omnibus
Vitae notatam cursibus orbitam,
Qua capta ceu saxi tenetur
Carcere Caucasei Voluntas.

Fato tyrannorum ingenium impotens,
Fato esse furum sacrilegas manus;
Suúmque peccatis, Deorum
Invidiâ, caput obligatum;

Praedone, praedonúmque satellite
Vox digna, res est digna parùm Deo;
Ligare Fato, quas beavit
Aethereâ ratione mentes.

Ergò, movendo principium, Deus
Non vincla ponit motibus, & juvat
Motas facultates agendo,
Libera quo le ageret Voluntas.
