Language: Italian (Italiano)
Di quelli che caddero alle Termopili famosa è la ventura, bella la sorte e la tomba un'ara. Ad essi memoria e non lamenti; ed elogio il compianto. Non il muschio, né il tempo che devasta ogni cosa, potrà su questa morte. Coi prodi, nella stessa pietra, abita ora la gloria della Grecia.
