ipsa quoque arcanis tecti in penetralibus alto molior igne pyram, sceptrum super armaque patris inicio et notas regum velamina vestes, ac prope maesta rogum confusis crinibus asto ense cruentato, fraudemque et inania busta plango metu, si forte premam, cassumque parenti omen et hac dubios leti precor ire timores.
I too in the secret recesses of our dwelling build a high-flaming pyre and cast thereon my fathers sceptre and arms and his well known garments, the dress of kings. In sadness with disordered hair and bloody sword I stand near and fearfully lament the cheat, the empty mound, hoping to cover up;  and I pray that the omen bring no harm to my parent and that doubting fears of his death be so discharged.
