-<poem>
-Superbi colli, e voi sacre ruine,
-Che ’l nome sol di Roma ancor tenete,
-Ahi che reliquie miserande avete
-Di tant’anime eccelse e pellegrine!
-Colossi, archi, teatri, opre divine,
-Trionfal pompe glorïose e liete,
-In poco cener pur converse siete,
-E fatte al vulgo vil favola alfine.
-Così, se ben un tempo al tempo guerra
-Fanno l’opre famose, a passo lento
-e l’opre e i nomi il tempo invido atterra.
-Vivrò dunque fra’ miei martir contento;
-Che se ’l tempo dà fine a ciò ch’è in terra,
-Darà forse ancor fine al mio tormento.</poem>
