Haec quae puluere dissipata multo
longas porticus explicat ruinas,
en quanto iacet absoluta casu!
Tectis nam modo Regulus sub illis
gestatus fuerat recesseratque,
uicta est pondere cum suo repente,
et, postquam domino nihil timebat,
securo ruit incruenta damno.
Tantae, Regule, post metum querelae
quis curam neget esse te deorum,
propter quem fuit innocens ruina?
