PAuperies, pacem; pax, opes; copia, luxum;
Sed luxus bellum, bella{que} pauperiem.
Pauperies turbam causat, turba{que} quietem,
Stant qui deciderent, qui{que} stetere cadunt.
Captivi capiunt, & qui domuere domantur,
Jam victi suplex, qui modo victor erat.
Sic plebae ••ndomitae, sic sunt sua fata tyrannis,
Sic Deus alternas versat in orbe vices.
