| How will posterity this truth explain | E |
| Cato begins to live in Anna's reign | E |
| The world's great chiefs in council or in arms | F |
| Rise in your lines with more exalted charms | F |
| Illustrious deeds in distant nations wrought | G |
| And virtues by departed heroes taught | G |
| Raise in your soul a pure immortal flame | H |
| Adorn your life and consecrate your fame | H |
| To your renown all ages you subdue | I |
| And C sar fought and Cato bled for you | I |
