De Nerio II et Antonio II Acciaiolis fratribus ducibus Athenarum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
De Nerio II et Antonio II Acciaiolis fratribus ducibus Athenarum was a short work by Florentine poet Jacopo Gaddi celebrating the two brothers, Nerio II and Antonio II Acciajuoli, who ruled the Duchy of Athens from 1435 to 1451. The verse puts an interesting twist on the rivalry between the two brothers.
Nobile par fratrum, Graecos Dux rexit uterque
- Non simul, alterno tempore sceptra ferens.
Gesserat haec Nerius, quo pulso Antonius ardens
- Rursus at extincto fratre gerit Nerius.
Nimium Pollux et Castor in urbe fuissent,
- Si fratrum illis gratia sanctus amor.
