Frangat Idumaeas tristis Victoria palmas,
Plange, Favor, saeva pectora nuda manu;
Mutet Honor cultus, et iniquis munera flammis
Mitte coronatas, Gloria maesta, comas.
Heu facinus! prima fraudatus, Scorpe, iuventa
Occidis et nigros tam cito iungis equos.
Curribus illa tuis semper properata brevisque
Cur fuit et vitae tam prope meta tuae?
