Qualiter Assyrios renouant incendia nidos,
una decem quotiens saecula uixit auis,
taliter exuta est ueterem noua Roma senctam
et sumpsit uoltus praesidis ipsa sui.
Iam, precor, oblitus notae, Vulcane, querelae,
parce: sumus Martis turba, sed et Veneris;
parce, pater: sic Lemniacis lasciua catenis
ignoscat coniunx et patienter amet.
