Horace Carmina III.3.1-4
According to legend, Dutch politician Cornelis de Witte recited these lines while tortured by the Orangist party in the late 17th century. Meter: Alcaic
Iustum et tenacem propositi virum
Non civium ardor prava iubentium,
Non voltus instantis tyranni
Mente quatit solida…
propositi - “purpose"; gen. of desc. with virum
prava - neuter “depraved things"; obj. of iubentium
quatit - “shakes”
Mente…solida - abl. of specification or (better IMO) separation
