❧ A nonymi elegia ad Lec∣torem.

CAndide Poliphilum narrantem somnia Lector auscultes, summo somnia missa polo, Non operam perdes, non haec audisse pigebit, tam varijs mirum rebus abundat opus. Si grauis & tetricus contemnis erotica, rerum nosce precor seriem tam bene dispositam. Abnuis? ac saltem stylus & noua lingua novus{que} sermo grauis, sophia, se rogat aspicias. Id quo{que} si renuis, geometrica cerne vetusta plurima milliacis disce referta notis. Hic sunt Pyramides, thermae, ingentes{que} Colssi, ac Obeliscorum forma vetusta patet. Hic diuersa basis fulget, variaeque columnae illarum{que} arcus, Zophora, epistilia, Et capita at{que} trabes, et cum quadrante coronae symmetria, & quicquid tecta superba facit. Hic regum cernes exculta palatia, cultus Nympharum, fontes, egregiasque epulas.

Hinc bicolor chorea est latronum, expressaque tota in Laberintheis vita hominum tenebris. Hinc lege de triplici quae maiestate tonantis dicat, & in portis egerit ipse tribus. Polia qua fuerit forma, quam culta, tryumphos inde Iouis specta quatuor aethereos. Haec praeter varios affectus narrat amoris, atque opera & quantum saeuiat ille Deus.
