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.
