Amici cuiusdam, ad Authorem Carmen Hexametrum.
FLoruit antiquo Galfridus tempore Chaucer
Scripsit & eximio permagna volumina versu
Et multi viguere viri, quos vnica virtus,
Nefandos facile effecit tolerare labores.
Vixerunt: & sola manet, nunc fama Sepultis
At tua nunc primum, (Galfride) virescere virtus
Incipit, & teneras cum spe producere plantas:
Quae (scio) quàm primumradices caeperit altos,
Efferet egregios cum magno foenore, fructus.
Ergo quisquis erit, qui fortè reuoluerit ista,
(Cuius mens liuore nequit nec amore moueri,
Et sapit) haud dubito, quin te dignabitur illa
Laude, tuo quam tu magno sudore parasti.
Sin minus: hoc vno tibi sat (Fentone) tulisti,
Quod Domina est cui des, dono dignissima tanto.
