Herculis in magni voltus descendere Caesar
dignatus Latiae dat nova templa viae,
qua Triviae nemorosa petit dum regna, viator
octavum domina marmor ab urbe legit.
ante colebatur votis et sanguine largo,
maiorem Alciden nunc minor ipse colit.
hune magnas rogat alter opes, rogat alter honores;
illi securus vota minora facit.
