shed on the earth
for thy return to Rome.

:15:05
Bless me here with
thy victorious hand.

:15:10
Kind Rome,
that hast thus lovingly reserved

:15:13
the cordial of mine age
to glad my heart.

:15:18
Lavinia, live.
:15:22
Outlive thy father's days
and fame's eternal date,

:15:27
for virtue's praise.
:16:13
Noble patricians,
patrons of my right,

:16:17
defend the justice
of my cause with arms!

:16:22
And, countrymen,
my loving followers,

:16:26
plead my successive title
with your swords!

:16:31
Romans, friends, followers,
favorers of my right,

:16:35
if ever Bassianus, Caesar's son,
:16:38
were gracious in the eyes of royal Rome,
:16:40
keep, then,
this passage to the capitol!

:16:44
I am the born-born son!
:16:47
That was the last that wear
the imperial diadem of Rome.

:16:52
And suffer not dishonor
to approach the imperial seat:

:16:55
to virtue, consecrate...
:16:58
to justice, continence, and nobility!
