ECce Dies rediit niveo signanda Lapillo, Aut cressà, aut, si qua est, nobil••ore notâ; Conscia divini partus, uberrima messis ••ngeniis, Musis optimamateries Phoebe venirutilos auro redimite capillos, Parnassum & Xanthi linque fluenta vagi. Indue Sidonio tinctam bis murice vestem, Neve arcum pigeat condere, sume Lyram. Lux fidibus celebranda tuis, fidibusque sororum, Hac nata Aonii est gloria primachori. Nascentilaetum Parcae cecinere triumphum, Et dederant vni tres tria sceptra Deae. Dicite lo cives & lo bis dicite cives, Natalis nobis omnibus iste dies. Hausimus ex illo nitidae primor dia lucis, Coepimus atque aurâ liberiore frui. Pallentes violas, Nardum{que}, Thymum{que}, Crocumque Congerite, & pictis Lilia mista Rosis. Farrepio, & castâ pron•• veneremur acerrâ, Sacrifici••que crepent mascula thurafocis: Qualia odoratis nascuntur plurima glebis, Quae Saba▪ vel dives qualia mittit Arabs.

Pulsentur pelves & tintinabulafanis Omnibus, auspicio lux eat ista bono. Ah quid cessamus resides in vota, precesque? Lux monet haec summum sollicitare DEUM. Non te summe parens Ophyres jam poscimus aurum▪ Non petimus culti jugera lata soli, Sed Regi firmam per saecula plura salutem; Nostrasit vt salvo principe firma salus. Iam decies quinos egit feliciter annos, O decies denos adde benig ne parens.
