TVrba poëtarum ruit in te, maxime Princips,
Certat & officijs docta caterva virûm.
Liquit & Aonidum Parnassi in vertice fontem
In boream migrans ex Helicone chorus.
In te conspirans vatum chorus omnis, in vnum
Contulit, & Musae quicquid honoris habent.
Sed sine te, frustra tanto conamine vates,
Frusta Pierides ex Helicone Deae.
Tudecus aeternum Musarum, & gloria vatum,
Ipse tibi solus carmina digna dabis:
Solus dulcè canens Musis & Apolline digna,
Solus Apollineo dignus & ore cani.
Sat mihi nunc inter communia gaudia; mutus
Non fuerim, atque mihi sit voluisse satis.
Versibus incultis quòd tantum culmen adire,
Auribus & sacris obstrepuisse stylo
Ausus ineptus ego, ne dedignere; frequenter
Frondibus ornatur vilibus ara Iovis.
Saepe in neglectis inventa est gemma lapillis,
Saepe cadus vilis nobile Nectar habet.
