Juventuti Historicae. S. P. D.

IMperio premeret dominas cum* 1.1 Flavius urbes, Victrices Aquilas & bello parta trophaea Extendens latè; tantos periisse labores Credidit indignum, positisque inglorius ar∣mis, Arripuit calamum Eutropius; Dux marte tremendus, Ingenio pollens; scripsitque, & praelia gessit Una eademque manus; famamque & fata Parentum Donavit luce, & longum aeternavit in aevum. Scilicet infantis ccinit cunabula Romae, Regesque, Grandaevosque Patres, fascesque verendos, Et parvis magnum de maenibus incremen∣tum. Sed neque res Italas memorans, gentemque Togatam, Praeteriit Domini* 1.2 crudelia bella perempti: Juvit enim Socias, florentesque aere cohortes, Et, quorum pars magna fuit, cantare labores. O mundo par opus nec mundi Regibus im∣par!

Quis dignus transferre tuas Dux inclyte chartas, Romanosque sonos maternâ reddere linguâ? Cedit onus pueris, humerisque virilibus aequa Incumbit moles, nec lassat magna ferentes. Fortunata tuo laetare Britannia dono: Et vos O matres Castrae, innuptaeque puellae, Ponite jam fusos, operosae pensa diei, Ponite, & hunc melius versetis pollice librum. Hîc annosa ducum series, hîc Caesaris arma, Qui primus toto divisos orbe Britannos Vidit, & in nostro fixit tentoria Coelo: Nec, quoties placidè delectant scripta le∣gentes, Definite authores toties celebrare tenellos. Felices pueri, tali sub Praeside docti, Queis angusta fovens distendit pectora Pallas; Crescite, foecundosque simul diffundite ramos Per totam latè gentem; quantum{que} virorum Coetibus hic praestat, tantum & praestate Ju∣ventae. Haec ego, ut exhibeam gratae munuscula mentis, Qui monitus Maidvelle tuos, praecepta{que} dia, Felix ante alios jucundis auribus hausi. Volventemque globum mundi, Titania{que} astra Vidimus, & vivum veluti mirabar Aratum.

E. Trin. Coll. Cant.
