The flames rapidly spread at night
The fate of the metropole is sealed
The urban fire occurred around the stadium
Ancient times unconcealed
The burning eradication
Comes and grows
The burning eradication
A fatal blow
Heat expanded through an area of narrow
Twisting streets and closely block
Survivors fled into unaffected areas
And the to open field and rural roads
Looters and arsonists rule the situation
Measures are made to slow the progress
An interruption after six days of burning
It soon reignited to force the confess
In the aftermath of the fire
Two thirds of Rome had been destroyed
Three districts copmletely devastated
A few scorched and mangled ruins remained
Temples and residence razed to the ground
