"Advenio supplex, non ut proculcet Araxen Consul ovans, nostræve premant pharetrata secures Susa, nec ut rubris Aquilas figamus arenis. Hæc nobis, hæc ante dabas. Nunc pabula tantum Roma precor. Miserere tuæ pater optime gentis, _Extremam defenda famam_--Satiavimus iram, Si quâ fuit. Lugenda Getis et flenda Suëvis Hausimus: ipsa meos exhorret Parthia casus.
Armato quondam populo, Patrumque vigebam Consiliis. Domui terras, urbesque revinxi Legibus: ad solem victrix utrumque cucurri,
Nunc inhonorus egens perfert miserabile pacis Supplicium, nulloque palam circumdatus hoste, Obsessi discrimen habet--per singula letum Impendit momenta mihi, dubitandaque pauci Prescribant alimenta Dies."
