Cooptare difficile; ita adsimilati. Quisque malus, |
| 5 | neque bonus; ambo electus parvi; debebimus; exspes sumus quod finis est incertus; |
| 10 | victoria tristicula, quod mox servi erimus. Tragoedia! Nunc saucia! |
| 15 | Victimae nos necare. Tot occisi, immutati; nunc debemus constare. Crudi mortes; |
| 20 | eum fides; inimicos proteri! Per bellandum ante malum, nunc raptim nos defendi! |
| 25 | Sed aegrescit: nos decipit, evertit nostram terram. Nunc debitum It ad astrum, |
| 30 | et rapitur naturam. Bella sine quoquam fine, nos iuribus secernit. Et celere |
| 35 | et avare, spem futuri excidit. |

To choose is difficult; they're so similar. Each is bad, |
| 5 | neither is good; both are poor choices; but we must; we are without hope because the end is uncertain. |
| 10 | His victory is a little sorrowful, for soon we shall be slaves. Tragedy! Now wounded! |
| 15 | They sacrificed themselves to kill us. So many dead, so much changed; now we must stand together. The corpses are still fresh, |
| 20 | but we put our faith in him; trample our enemies under foot! By waging war after the disaster, defend us now violently! |
| 25 | But things become troubled: he's deceiving us, he's ruining our country. Now debt goes to the stars, |
| 30 | and nature is being plundered. Waging wars that are without end, he is depriving us of our rights. Both rashly |
| 35 | and greedily, he is destroying hope for the future. |
