Onor di questa sponda
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Onor di questa sponda,
padre di Roma addio;
degli anni e dell’oblio
noi trionfiam per te.
Ma troppo costa il vanto;
Roma ti perde intanto;
ed ogni età feconda
di Regoli non è.

Farewell to you
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
Farewell to you,
great Father of Rome
and honor of these shores.
Through you we triumph
over the years and over oblivion.
But this glory is too costly,
for we lose you at the same time.
Not all ages are so fertile
that they bring forth more Reguli.
