Illam, quidquid agit, quoquo vestigia movit,
componit furtim subsequiturque Decor.

Credula vitam
spes fovet et fore cras semper ait melius.

Atque aliquis senior veteres veneratus amores
annua constructo serta dabit tumulo,
et "bene" discedens dicet "placideque quiescas,
terraque securae sit super ossa levis."

Who was the first discoverer of the horrible sword? How savage was he and literally iron!

Quis fuit, horrendos primus qui protulit enses?
quam ferus et vere ferreus ille fuit!

Te propter nullos tellus tua postulat imbres,
arida nec pluvio supplicat herba Iovi.

Nec iurare time: veneris periuria venti
inrita per terras et freta summa ferunt.
gratia magna Iovi: vetuit Pater ipse valere,
iurasset cupide quidquid ineptus amor.

Be bold: Venus herself aids the stout-hearted.
