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.
