Sive humili socco, tumido indutusve Cothurno,
Hac Sophocles, illâ parte Menander erat.
Num prope Virgilii vestigia sacra secutus,
Angliacos docuit verba Latina modos,
Credidimus redivivi animam remeasse Maronis,
Et vatem agnovit Mantua laeta suum:
Felix morte Senex! in terris cum tibi fatum
Nil habuit melius, quod daret, astra dedit.
