Ignoscite, vetustissimi foci, veniamque aeterni date ignes, si a vestro sacratissimo templo ad necessarium magis quam speciosum urbis locum contextus operis nostri progressus fuerit: nulla enim acerbitate Fortunae, nullis sordibus pretium carae pietatis evilescit; quin etiam eo certius quo miserius experimentum habet.
Forgive me, most ancient hearth, give me your pardon, eternal fire, if the scheme of my work advance from your most sacred temple to a place in the city more necessary than splendid. For by no harshness of Fortune, no squalor, is the value of dear piety cheapened; on the contrary, the more unhappy in the trial, the more certain.
