17. mortui pro patria

Inachii spes una soli, bis dena, viator,

      Milia in hoc tumulo cum patria tegimur,

Dum natosque patresque, larem patriamque tuemur,

      Imperioque ducis Tarchanii obsequimur.

5

Nam rex, indignus patriam qui protegat armis,

      Turpiter et regnum fugerat et patriam.
