Text: Ilustre Libertador: Habéis cumplido la misión de los mártires del año nueve, que regaron con su sangre el árbol frondoso de la independencia americana; entrad a la cuna de la libertad, que vuestra espada triunfante abra esta puerta para que retoñe y fertilice con vuestra sombra benéfica. La América entera os contempla, y el pueblo paceño os felicita, y los patriotas presentan esta guirnalda por mi conducto, como enseña de gratitud.
