  1. Iamque in fine dies et inexorabile pensum
  2. deficit, hic maesti pietas me poscit Etrusci,
  3. qualia nec Siculae moderantur carmina rupes
  4. nec fati iam certus olor saevique marita
  5. Tereos. heu quantis lassantem brachia vidi
  6. planctibus et prono fusum super oscula vultu!
  7. vix famuli comitesque tenent, vix arduus ignis
  8. summovet. haud aliter gemuit per Sunia [*]() Theseus
  9. litora,[*]() qui falsis deceperat Aegea velis.
  10. tunc immane gemens foedatusque ora tepentes
    11. [*](per Sunia Polster: periuria M: per inania Bursian: per Ionia Phillimore. )[*](litora M: litore s, and keep periuria. Italy and founded Arpi in Apulia. against Dacians and Marcomanni about 88, Sarmatian war, probably successful but no triumph, 92. )
  11. adfatur cineres: ‘cur nos, fidissime, linquis
  12. Fortuna redeunte, pater? modo numina magni
  13. praesidis atque breves superum placavimus iras,
  14. nec frueris tantique orbatus muneris usu
  15. ad manes, ingrate, fugis, nec flectere Parcas
  16. ut placare malae datur aspera numina Lethes?
  17. felix, cui magna patrem cervice vehenti
  18. sacra Mycenaeae patuit reverentia flammae!
  19. quique tener saevis genitorem Scipio Poenis
  20. abstulit et Lydi pietas temeraria Lausi.
