"Per various casus, per tot discrimina rerum,

Tendimus in Latium; sedes ubi fata quietas

Ostendunt. Illic fas regna resurgere Trojæ.

Durate, et vosmet rebus servate secundis."

— Virgil.

"By diuers casis, sere parrellis and sufferance

Unto It aill we ettill (aim) quhare destanye

Has schap (shaped) for vs ane rest and quiet harbrye

Predestinatis thare Troye sall ryse agane.

Be stout on prosper fortoun to remane."

— Gwain Douglas's translation.
