Original Text :	At gens exitio dudum devota futuro, Ut fuerat solitae concessa licentia praedae, Concipit immanem diro sub corde furorem Et ruit effrenis, quo se tulit impetus amens. Fana profana simul miscet, fas discidit omne Criminibusque novis dissignat foedera pacis. Praesidiis vacuam, placida iam pace quietam Arcipolin armis invadunt milia gentis, Moenia despoliant, aeraria regia frangunt, Thesauros cultusque novos auroque rigentes, Aurea vasa, ciphos, lances, insignia regni Plurima diripiunt, incendunt moenia flammis,
