Illustris hospes! mox spatiabere
Qua mens ruinæ docta meatibus

Gaudebit explorare cœtus,

Buccina qua cecinit triumphos;

Audin? resurgens spirat anhelitu
Dux usitato, suscitat efficax
Poeta manes, ingruitque
Vi solitâ redivivus horror.

Ahæna quassans tela gravi manu
Sic ibat atrox Ossiani pater:
Quiescat urna, stet fidelis

Phersonius vigil ad favillam."
