Mittere qui celeres summa uelit arte sagittas,
Ars erit ex isto summa profecta libro.
Quicquid habent arcus rigidi, nerui{que} rotundi,
Sumere fi libet, hoc sumere fonte licet.
Aschamus est author, magnū quē fecit Apollo
Arte sua, magnum Pallas & arte sua.
Docta man{us} dedit hūc, dedit hūc mēs doct a libellū:
Quae ui det Ars Vsus uisa, parata facit.
Optimus haec author quia tradidit optima scripta,
Conuenit bec uobis optima uelle sequi.
