In Homicidiam inclementissimum
C——[umbri]a D——[uce]m sub nomine Neronis.
I Satia mentem timidam, faūcesqūe voraces,
Sangūine civili flagitiose Nero.
Qūis nisi vel timidūs vel qūi cælestia Spernit
Nūmina devictos cædere Victor avet.
Tū bene de Patria meritos Sūspende, Secūri
Percūte, Semineces dilaniaqūe Viros.
Orphanos, Vidūas Spolia, nec parce Senecta,
Sævitiam Vestram Sexus ūterque ferat.
Justa propositis, et quæ potes omnia, ferro
ffatiferoFatifero, et fflammâFlammâ perde flagrante loca.
Quȃque feres gressūs, laniantia telaque; parcas
Egregio nūlli Magne Tyranne Viro.
At tibi jūdiciūm non evitabile, Vestris
Viribūs invitis, haūd procūl esse scias.
Ultio te divina brevi captabit, iniquis
Debita tum factis præmia nactūs eris.
Sit tūūs invisum Rivalem cernere casus,
Gestantem, pulso te, Diadema Patrum.
Splendeat in Solio, Superatis Hostibus, æquȃ
Mente Sūūm Populum, jūsticiȃqūe regens.
Sit tibi dispar amet Cives, Patriamqūe; propinqūis
Regibus incūtiat Marte feroce metum.
