Tune neque fraus nota est, neque vis, neque foeda libido;
Haec nimis proles saeva caloris erat.
Si sacrum illorum, sit detestabile nomen,
Qui primi servae regne dedere gulae.
Hinc vitiis patefacta via est, morbisq; secutis sas,
Se lethi facies exeruere novae.
Ah, fuge crudeles Animantum sanguine men
Quasque tibi obsonat mors inimica dapes.
