• Expende Hannibalem ; quot libras in duce summo
* Invenies ? hic est quem non capit Africa Mauro
* Percussa Oceano Niloque admota tepenti,
• Rursus ad Æthiopum populos altosque elephantos.
• Additur imperiis Hispania : Pyrenæum
*Transilit. Opposuit natura Alpemque nivemque :
• Diducit scopulos et montem rumpit aceto.
“Jam tenet Italiam : tamen ultra pergere tendit :
““ Actum,” inquit, “nihil est, nisi Peno milite portas
* Frangimus et media vexillum pono Suburra."

(O qualis facies et quali digna tabella,
• Quum Gætula ducem portaret bellua luscum !)
• Exitus ergo quis est ? O gloria ! vincitur idem
• Nempe et in exsilium præceps fugit, atque ibi magnus
• Mirandusque cliens sedet ad prætoria regis,
* Donec Bithyno libeat vigilare tyranno.
· Finem animæ, quæ res humanas miscuit olim,
* Non gladii, non saxa dabunt, nec tela ; sed ille
• Cannarum vindex et tanti sanguinis ultor,
• Annulus. I, demens, et sævas curre per Alpes,
• Ut pueris placeas et declamatio fias!'
