My mind to meditate what then it learned,
Yet such the fixed inveteracy wrought

A boon above all gold is that thou prayest,
An
unreached
destiny,
As of the blessed land that far aloof
Beyond the north wind lies;
Yet doth your double prayer ring loud reproof;
A double scourge of sighs
Awakes the dead; th' avengers rise, though late;
Blood stains the guilty pride
Of the accursed who rule on earth, and Fate
Stands on the children's side.

Again, to gazers
ignorant
of the sea,
Vessels in port seem, as with broken poops,
To lean upon the water, quite agog;
For any portion of the oars that's raised
Above the briny spray is straight, and straight
The rudders from above.

nam quamquam antiquae gentis superant tibi laudes,
non tua maiorum
contenta
est gloria fama,
nec quaeris quid quaque index sub imagine dicat,
sed generis priscos contendis uincere honores,
quam tibi maiores maius decus ipse futuris:
at tua non titulus capiet sub nomine facta,
aeterno sed erunt tibi magna uolumina uersu,
conuenientque tuas cupidi componere laudes
undique quique canent uincto pede quique soluto.
