Mucius dexteram suam libens in ara reliquit: o sublimitas animi! Empedocles totum sese Catanensium Aetnaeis incendiis donavit: o vigor mentis! Aliqua Carthaginis conditrix rogo se secundum matrimonium dedit: o praeconium castitatis! Regulus, ne unus pro multis hostibus viveret, toto corpore cruces patitur: o virum fortem et in captivitate victorem!
Mucius gladly left his right hand upon the altar; O the sublimity of that spirit! Empedocles gave the whole of himself to the flames of Etna, at Catana; O the strength of that mind! There was a foundress of Carthage who gave herself to the funeral pyre in wedlock; O the glory of that chastity! Regulus refused to have his own single life spared in exchange for many of the enemy and suffered torture all over his bodyc; O heroic soul, a prisoner but a conqueror!
