Original text and translations

Latin text

Mortalium preces nimis haec vesania est
Tonantem ad arma ut provocet
dudum fatiscens ictubus non irritis,
sopore sternens hinc gravi
bruto velut terrore somniat
Deum telis trisulcis ludere.

Quid non meretur hic veternus flectere,
o summe vindex flectere
vindictam clementem haud decet
soles tuo vel jure summo cedere.
