NEMO FORTIS NISI ET IUSTUS.
FOrtitudo & magnanimitas virtutes sunt verč regiae; neque
cadere possunt, nisi in animam generosam. Maiestas digni-
tasque regia non vestium splendore, sed prudentia ac fortitu-
dine paranda est. Illi fortes non sunt, qui quovis modo vitam
contemnunt, sed qui tanti faciunt virtutem, ut huius gratia
vitam alioqui charam negligant. Fortium virorum est suis af-
fectibus repugnare, iustitiam colere, & fortunae procellas im-
pavido animo perferre. Animus fortis cupiditatum tumultus
ratione compescit. Excelsi & fortis animi est ingratitudine non
deterreri ŕ studio benč merendi de omnibus. Magnanimum
arguit hominem constans in adversis tolerantia: Fortis animi
est mortem contemnere, quoties aut inevitabilis necessitas ur-
get, aut causa gravis & honesta suadet. Egregium imperterriti
fortisque pectoris est documentum, in causa honesta piaque,
nec certam mortem perhorrescere. Magnum faciunt res ad-
versae, secundae felicem. Crescit in adversis virtus. Animum
vincere, iracundiam cohibere, victoriam temperare, adversa-
rium non tantům non conculcare iacentem, sed etiam ad-
iuvare, fortis est viri, quem non solům magnis
comparo, sed deo simillimum
iudico.

Petro Lepido Metensi.[1]
NEMO FORTIS NISI ET IUSTUS.
No-one is strong unless he is also just
NEmo potest dici fortis nisi iustus: & idem
Mutuet ŕ sancta robora iusticia.
Fortis enim iusti officio persistit & instat:
Servat uterque bonos, perdit uterque malos.
No-one can be called strong unless he is just and derives strength from sacred justice. For the strong man persists in and pursues the business of the just: he protects the good and brings down the bad.
