Hic iacet ille senex Augusta notus in aula,
pectore non humili passus utrumque deum;
natorum pietas sanctis quem coniugis umbris
miscuit: Elysium possidet ambo nemus.
Occidit illa prior uiridi fraudata iuuenta:
hic prope ter senas uixit Olympiadas.
Sed festinatis raptum tibi credidit annis,
aspexit lacrimas quisquis, Etrusce, tuas.
