TUTTO IL CORO
Del forte Licida
nome maggiore
d'Alfeo sul margine
mai non suonò.
 
PARTE DEL CORO
 
Sudor più nobile
del suo sudore
l'arena olimpica
mai non bagnò.
 
ALTRA PARTE
 
L'arti ha di Pallade;
l'ali ha d'Amore;
d'Apollo e d'Ercole
l'ardir mostrò.
 
TUTTO IL CORO
 
No; tanto merito,
tanto valore
l'ombra de' secoli
coprir non può.
