pascitur in vivis Livor; post fata quiescit,
cum suus ex merito quemque tuetur honos:
ergo etiam cum me supremus adederit ignis,
vivam, parsque mei multa superstes erit.
Envy feasts on the living; after death it is silent,
When each man’s fame protects him as he deserves:
So, even when the final flame has consumed me,
I shall live, and a considerable part of me will survive.
