Serranus, clarum nomen, tua, Regule, proles, qui, longum semper fama gliscente per aevum, infidis servasse fidem memorabere Poenis, flore nitens primo, patriis heu Punica bella auspiciis ingressus erat; miseramque parentem et dulces tristi repetebat sorte penates saucius.
Serranus bore a glorious name: he was the son of Regulus, whose fame ever increases with the passage of time, and of whom it will never be forgotten, that he kept faith with the faithless Carthaginians. Serranus was in the flower of his youth; but, alas, he had begun the war against Carthage with his fathers ill-fortune, and now, sore-wounded, he sought in sad plight to return to his unhappy mother and the home he loved.
