The following sample is taken from the ''[[Perasto Speech]]'' ({{lang|vec|Discorso de Perasto}}), given on August 23, 1797, at [[Perast]]o, by Venetian Captain [[Giuseppe Viscovich]], at the last lowering of the flag of the Venetian Republic (nicknamed the "Republic of [[St Mark's Cathedral, Venice|Saint Mark]]").

{{verse translation
|{{lang|vec|Par trezentosetantasete ani
le nostre sostanse, el nostro sangue,
le nostre vite le xè sempre stàe
par Ti, S. Marco; e fedelisimi
senpre se gavemo reputà,
Ti co nu, nu co Ti,
e sempre co Ti sul mar
semo stài lustri e virtuosi.
Nisun co Ti ne gà visto scanpar,
nisun co Ti ne gà visto vinti e spaurosi!}}
|For three hundred and seventy seven years
our bodies, our blood
our lives have always been
for You, St. Mark; and very faithful
we have always thought ourselves,
You with us, we with You,
And always with You on the sea
we have been illustrious and virtuous.
No one has seen us with You flee,
No one has seen us with You defeated and fearful!}}
