felices leti, pietas quos addidit umbris! optabunt similes venientia saecula fratres, aeternumque decus memori celebrabitur aevo, si modo ferre diem serosque videre nepotes carmina nostra valent, nec famam invidit Apollo.
Fortunate in death were they, whom love of kin and country sent down to join the dead! Coming ages will pray for brethren like them, and their undying fame shall be for ever remembered, if only my verse has power to endure and see a distant posterity, and if Apollo has not begrudged me fame.
