Soluite mortales animos, curasque leuate,
Totque super vacuis vitam deflete querelis.
Fata regunt orbem, certa stant omnia lege,
Longaque per certos signantur tempora cursus.
Nascentes morimur, finisque ab origine pendet,
Tunc & opes, & regna fluunt, & sæpius orta
Paupertas, artesque datæ, moresque creati,
Et vitia, & clades, damna & compendia vitæ.
Nemo caret damno, poterit nec habere negatum,
Fortunámue suis inuitam perdere votis,
Aut fugere instantem, sors est, sua cuique ferenda
At ni fata darent leges vitæ́ necisque,
Fugissent ignes Aeneam, Troia sub vno
Non euersa viro, satis vicisset in ipsis.
Aut lupa proiectos nutrisset Martia fratres,
Romaque sic enata foret, pecudumque magistri
In Capitolinos auxissent culmina montes,
Includiúe sua potuisset Iuppiter arce
Captus, vel Caput hic orbis foret igne sepulto,
Vulneribus victor repetisset Mutius vrbem
Solus, & oppositis claudisset Horatius armis
Pontem, vrbemque simul rupisset fœdera virgo.
Tresque sub vnius fratres virtute iacerent,
Nulla acies tunc euicit, pendebat ab vno
Roma viro, regnumque orbis sortita iacebat.
