Quis redonavit quiritem dis patriis italoque caelo
Who returned you as a citizen to your family gods and Italian sky

Tecum phillipos et celerem fugam sensi
With you i have experienced phillipi and a swift escape
Relicta non bene parmula
With my little shield not well left behind
Cum fracta virtus, et minaces turpe solum tetigere mento
When strength had been subdued and threatening people touched the ground with their disgraceful chin
Sed me per hostes mercurius celer denso paventem sustulit aere

Te rursus in bellum resorbens unda fretis tulit aestuosis

Nec oarde cadis tibi destinatis
Do not refrain from the jars intended for you
Recepto dulce mihi fuerere est amico
It is sweet for me to be wild with a recovered friend
