“Per various casus, per tot discrimina rerum,

Tendimus in Latium; sedes ubi fata quietas

Ostendunt. Illic fas regna resurgere Trojae.

Durate, et vosmet rebus servate secundis.”

Virgil

“By diuers casis, sere parrellis and sufferance

Unto Itaill we ettill (aim) quhare destanye

Has schap (shaped) for vs ane rest and quiet harbrye

Predestinatis thare Troye sall ryse agane.

Be stout on prosper fortoun to remane.”
