  1. ac vilis gladiator ense duro
  2. percussus cadit et fremit voluptas.
  3. hic flammante pyra niger minister
    4. p.208
  4. ardens supplicium parare iussus
  5. construxit facibus rogum supremis,
  6. qui, dum corpora concremanda 1 solvit,
  7. ferventes animas amore lucis
  8. fracto carceris expediret antro.
  9. certant officiis pii sodales:
  10. plantis calciamenta dissolutis
  11. pronus detrahere studebat unus,
  12. sed sanctus vetat ora Fructuosus
  13. inclinata premi: facessite, inquit,
  14. ‘nec nostram gravet obsequella mortem.
  15. atquin ipse meos pedes resolvam,
  16. ne vestigia praepedita vinclis
  17. tardis gressibus inruant in ignem.
  18. cur lamenta rigant genas madentes?
  19. cur vestri memor ut fiam rogatis?
  20. cunctis pro populis rogabo Christum.’
