Et, quàm fidus erat, tàm diuturnus amor.

Tempus adeft, quo jam nullâ prohibente catenâ,
In patriæ cœlos, dulciaque arva volo,

Quo mihi rifura eft felix, ut præterit, hora;
Si tamen adfueris, lætior omnis erit.

IV.

Quin tu, magne parens lucis, devolvere curfus
Præfcriptos properes, hinc Abalamque move;
Hinc procul in fedes, quêis incorrupta micabit

No Christian tyrant there is known

To mark his fteps with blood,

Nor fable mis'ry's piercing moan

Scilicet hoc poteris ; fed non conceditur ultra:

Morte obitâ, nihil eft, quod patiamur, adhuc.

Ultima tu rerum, requies mortalibus ægris,

Tu, Mors, fola potes fluctus fedare doloris,
Servitiique jugum frangere fola potes.
