quem secum sensu pariter nutuque rogabat,
vinceret ut regem, saevos ut vinceret ignes.
atque ita non segnis nec pro puerilibus annis
prosilit intrepidus medios delapsus in ignes
et pugnat, victor donec remearet in altum
spiritus et fratrum peteret secreta priorum.
Dum puer ista gerit, solverunt gaudia matrem:
iamque ut erat lassata malis, iam voce negata
spirat ovans interque manus conlapsa suorum
concidit exanimis resolutaque membra quierunt.
sic ipsa et nati sanctorum in parte recepta est.
