PAllida & exanguis haec chartula Sacratissimos Tuos amplexus summâ eáque debitâ venera∣tione solicitat, unde Promethei ad instar vi∣tam & vigorem (Quae soles dare) ambitioso & lauda∣bili furto surripiat: Quin haud vitio vertenda erit pia nostŕa nec inhonesta fraus, Quum spirare, & vivere oportet eam Epistolam, quae tanto Nomini in∣scripta aeternitatis aemula, & particeps affinitatis jure facta est. Nempe Tu Ea es divinior Artemisia,

Quae Mausolo tuo non perpetuum certissimae mortis indicem, & monumentum solummodò extruere, sed vitam ipsam aeternitati inserere Praeclaros Animi mo∣tus sacri calami Impulsu continuare, Limpidos Corporis humores, & nobilem sanguinem ex benignâ Ingenii Tui venâ aeternum supplere, nec non eximia gesta & faci∣nora ad vivum exprimere, coram sistere, & denuò agere valuisti: Exhibuisti nobis talem Principem qualis ipse solus est, Cujus Imaginem à Te unicâ vel effingi, vel dignè delineari posse fateatur universus Philoso∣phorum Chorus. Exbibuisti gratissimum orbi munus, praesentis saeculi decus & ornamentum, faturi Arche∣typum & elaboratum exemplar. Insuper videre est quàm mirabili artificio (Laudatissimi Phidiae jure) conjunctis∣simo numini Illustrissimam Tuam intexuisti Imaginem, usque adeò intemperanti mortis occursu fabricam fa∣ciens, ut perpetuum Vestrum conjugium ab ipsâ haud sejungi possit aut divelli. Quantâ animi devotione Ornantissimae Heroinae egregium munus amplexamur, sentire possumus, aptè exprimere (Quae Tua & pro∣pria Laus est) neutiquam confidimus: Digneris, quae∣sumus, ut donum Tuum tanquam caelitùs delapsum an∣cile duraturae felicitatis augurium & tesseram silentio (uti par est) veneretur Collegium nostrum, vel, quod majus, Vestrum.
