Latin text

Heu quos dabimus miseranda cohors gemitus tanto funere dignos,
heu quis ab imo pectore luctus mala nostra pari diluat unda
quo deliciis nescia vinci nostra libido cessit,
et auri vesana fames quo blan da Venus quae raptus honos rapta su pellex
alias versat fortuna vices, alius rerum nascitur ordo,
versa in tristes gaudia luctus versa ingemitus citherea chelis.

Mens male conscia terrore labat,
fremit hinc at que hinc agmen averni capiti judex imminet
atrox mugit abimo Tartarus antro,
cur haec miseris invisa parens dedit ingratae lumine vitae
cur infantes nulla voravit amma,
nec hausit noxius ensis scindite vestes ebile vulgus
plangite crebris pectora pugnis
lacerate comas, tollite questus, haec una licent gaudia nobis.
