VIdimus (ô laeti, cùm vidimus) eruta caecoRoma tui sceleris quanta, quot arma specu!Ferrum, saxa, faces, et dolia sulphure foeta,(Scilicet his Meretrix vina dat hausta cadis.)Haec latuêre diu magni sub fornice Tecti,Iussa manere manum, Fauxe sceleste, tuam.Legibus illa olim penetralia sacra ferendis(Proh pudor!) horrendum penè tulêre scelus:Rex, Princeps, Proceres, Patres, flos Plebis vt vnoIctu corruerent, ipsa{que} Relligio.Admotura sacras aderat manus vltima flammas,Prodit, disperdit, vindicat ista Deus.Nil Erebū pudeat scelerum: Scelus hoc dabit vnumInfandos{que} homines, Eumenidas{que} pias.En Erebo accessit sceleris noua forma, parem{que}Huic Erebum sceleri postulat illa nouum.Par sceleri dabitur pretium? Modus vnus vtri{que},Nullus erit poenae: nullus eratsceleri.Par merito laus danda Deo? Modus vnus vtri{que},Nullus erit laudi: nullus erat merito.
Rite Deo Saxum{que} datum, nomen{que} Bis-vltor:Vicerat hinc hostes, luseratinde dolos.Perditione priùs, nunc proditione petebant:Perditaperditio est, prodita proditio.
