May Jove, who watches with the same good-will
O'er you and Rome, preserve the secret still,
Whether the heart within you beats more true
To Rome and to her sons, or theirs to you!

Tene magis salvum populus velit an populum tu?
servet in ambiguo, qui consulit et tibi et Urbi, Iuppiter.

May Jove, who watches with the same good-willO'er you and Rome, preserve the secret still,Whether the heart within you beats more trueTo Rome and to her sons, or theirs to you!
