O socii—neque enim ignari sumus ante malorum—
O passi graviora, dabit deus his quoque finem.

Stabant orantes primi transmittere cursum
Tendebantque manus ripae ulterioris amore.

Bella, horrida bella.

Learn fortitude and toil from me, my son,
Ache of true toil. Good fortune learn from others.

Venit summa dies et ineluctabile tempus
Dardaniae.

Mens sibi conscia recti.

Tu regere imperio populos, Romane, memento
(Hae tibi erunt artes), pacique imponere morem,
Parcere subjectis et debellare superbos.

Iuppiter omnipotens, audacibus adnue coeptis.

Improbe Amor, quid non mortalia pectora cogis!

Volvitur Euryalus leto, pulchrosque per artus
It cruor inque umeros cervix conlapsa recumbit:
Purpureus veluti cum flos succisus aratro
Languescit moriens; lassove papavera collo
Demisere caput, pluvia cum forte gravantur.

Pedibus timor addidit alas.

Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito.

Furens quid Femina possit.

Tantaene animis caelestibus irae?
