Quantum sollicito fortuna parentis Etrusco,
tantum, summe ducum, debet uterque tibi.
Nam tu missa tua reuocasti fulmina dextra:
hos cuperem mores ignibus esse Iouis;
si tua sit summo, Caesar, natura Tonanti,
utetur toto fulmine rara manus.
Muneris hoc utrumque tui testatur Etruscus,
esse quod et comiti contigit et reduci.
