Invia Sarmaticis domini lorica sagittis
Et Martis Getico tergore fida magis,
Quam vel ad Aetolae securam cuspidis ictus
Texuit innumeri lubricus unguis apri:
Felix sorte tua, sacrum cui tangere pectus
Fas erit et nostri mente calere dei.
I comes et magnos inlaesa merere triumphos
Palmataeque ducem, sed cito, redde togae.
