„O Pollenzia, degna dei miei canti per i secoli eterni! | o nome insigne, o luogo di felici trionfi! | o suolo destinato alle vittorie, o memorando sepolcro | di barbari! Spesso in quei confini, su quella terra | piena tornò la vendetta ai Quiriti fidati.“

Variant translation: Presence diminishes fame.
„If thou make any law or establish any custom for the general good, be the first to submit thyself thereto; then does a people show more regard for justice nor refuse submission when it has seen their author obedient to his own laws. The world shapes itself after its ruler's pattern, nor can edicts sway men's minds so much as their monarch's life; the unstable crowd ever changes along with the prince.“
