DE SCAEVOLAA
-
Lictorem pro rege necans nunc mutius ultroB
Sacrifico propriam concremat igne manumC
Miratur Porsenna virum paenamque relaxansD
Maxima cum obscessis faedera a victor initE
Plus flammis patriae confert quam fortibus armisD
Una domans bellum funere dextra suaD
-
ENGLISHEDE
-
The hand by which no king but serjeant diesD
Mutius in fire doth freely sacrificeD
The prince admires the Hero quits his painsD
And Victor from the seige peace entertainsD
Rome's more oblig'd to flames than arms or pow'rB
When one burnt hand shall the whole war devourB
