Seite 3 - Jamque nocens ferrum, ferroque nocentius aurum prodierat ; prodit Bellum, quod pugnat utroque, sanguineaque manu crepitantia concutit arma, vivitur ex rapto : non hospes ab hospite tutus, non socer a genero ; fratrum quoque gratia rara est. imminet exitio vir conjugis, illa mariti ; lurida terribiles miscent aconita novercae ; filius ante diem patrios inquirit in annos. victa jacet pietas ; et virgo caede madentes, ultima caelestum, terras Astraea reliquit.
