¶Lyrics / Text

O socii, neque enim ignari sumus ante malorum, o passi graviora, dabit deus his quoque finem. Vos et Scylleam rabiem penitusque sonantes accestis scopulos, vos et Cyclopia saxa experti, revocate animos moestumque timorem mittite, forsan et haec olim meminisse juvabit. Per varios casus, per tot discrimina rerum tendimus in Latium, sedes ubi fata quietas ostendunt; illic fas regna resurgere Trojae. Durate et vosmet rebus servate secundis. ''(Aeneis, I, 198-207)'' Cantus firmus: Durate.
