Cur me querelis exanimas tuis?

nec dis amicum est nec mihi te prius

obire, Maecenas, mearum

grande decus columenque rerum.

a, te meae si partem animae rapit

maturior vis, quid moror altera,

nec carus aeque nec superstes

integer? ille dies utramque

ducet ruinam. non ego perfidum

dixi sacramentum ibimus, ibimus,

utcumque praecedes, supremum

carpere iter comites parati.

me nec Chimaerae spiritus igneae

nec si resurgat centimanus Gyas

divellet umquam: sic potenti

Iustitiae placitumque Parcis.

seu Libra seu me Scorpios adspicit

formidolosus pars violentior

natalis horae seu tyrannus

Hesperiae Capricornus undae:

utrumque nostrum incredibili modo

consentit astrum; te Iovis inpio

tutela Saturno refulgens

eripuit volucrisque Fati

tardavit alas, cum populus frequens

laetum theatris ter crepuit sonum;

me truncus inlapsus cerebro,

sustulerat, nisi Faunus ictum

dextra levasset, Mercurialium

custos virorum. reddere victimas

aedemque votivam memento;

nos humilem feriemus agnam.
