english: "As if long-prepared, as if courageous, as it becomes you who were worthy of such a city, approach the window with a firm step, and with emotion, but not with the entreaties or the complaints of a coward, as a last enjoyment, listen to the sounds, the exquisite instruments of the musical troops, and bid her farewell, the Alexandria you are losing."
non_english: ‚‚Kao da si spreman godinama, kao junak, kao što priliči tebi što si bio zaslužan takvog jednog grada, priđi prozoru sigurna koraka i slušaj sa uzbuđenjem ali ne proklinjući ili tužeći poput kukavice, kao poslednje svoje zadovoljstvo slušaj zvuke i sjajne instrumente muzičara i pozdravi je, Aleksandriju koju si izgubio."
