Vis et Tarquinios reges, animamque superbam
Ultoris Bruti, fascesque videre receptos?
Consulis imperium hic primus, sævasque secures,
Accipiet; natosque pater, nova bella moventes,
Ad pœnam, pulchra pro Libertate, vocabit,
Infelix: utcumque ferent ea facta minores,
Vincet amor patriæ.
Virgil. Æn. L. VI.
