Iustum et tenacem propositi virum
Non ardor civium prava iubentium,
Nec vultus instantis tyranni
Mente quatit solida neque Auster,
Dux inquieti turbidus Hadriae,
Nec fulminantis magna manus Iovis;
Si fractus illabatur orbis,
Impavidum ferient ruinae.

(Quintus Horatius Flaccus
Iustum et tenacem, I)

Translation by George Gordon, Lord Byron:

The man of firm and noble soul
No factious clamours can control;
No threat’ning tyrant’s darkling brow
Can swerve him from his just intent:
Gales the warring waves which plough,
By Auster on the billows spent,
To curb the Adriatic main,
Would awe his fix’d determined mind in vain.
