IOANNIS RIBERII LVSITANI ad AVTHOREM,

ENCOMIASTICHON.
LAus, Matthaec, tibi superest post fata perennis, Quam nullo minuet tempore, tempus edax. Orbe pererrato virtutem extendere factis, Factum ingens: opus est Martis, & Artis opus, Fortunam maior variam superare labore, Herculeis maior Quiribus iste labor. Maius opus, maior labor est coluisse Mineruam: Maior & ex proprio condere Marte libros. Heroas decorare solent duo nomina, Mars, Ars: Munera tu pariter Martis & Artis habes. Mars dedit inuictum, quo tendis ad ardua, pectus: Excoluit mentem docta Minerua tuam. Ingenij monumenta tui super aethera nota, Testantur larga praestita dona manu. Multa Hispana •…•…anit Musa: atqui nullus Ibera Dogmata pinxit adhuc 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Testis hic est codex modico qui venditur are, Attalicas superant, quas dabit emptus, opes. Cuius ab aspectu morsus compressit inanos, Inuidia, heu multis iniuriosa nimis. Zoile transuerso calamo, qui vulnera figis, I procul, en contra numina bella paras. Contra Mercurium, Phoebum, contra{que} Mineruam, Mortalis poterit tela mouere manus? Quisquis auarus ades, redimis qui sanguine gemma, Gemma tibi •…•…ruo venditur aere, veni. Hauris ab 〈◊〉〈◊〉 pericula terra: Hic liber arcanas fundet, & addet opes. Decolor est diues, fuluo quod pallet in auro, Non sunt diuitia delitia{que} simul. At liber hic auri venis qui pulcher abundat, Nunc tibi delitias, diuitias{que} dabit. Aureus hic certe gemma est pretiosa libellus, Quis tenui gemmam respuas are datam?
