Ad eundem. IOANNIS FORBESII filij Epigramma.

INgenio pollet, pacisque Minerua refulget Artibus, ast eadem parmamque hastam{que} trementem Fulmineumque ensem bello metuenda virago Concutit, ac trepidare vetat virtutis amantes, Peste per argolicas latè grassante cateruas, Placandum missa numn Chyseide Calchas Fretus Achille canit. Cantu Philomela secunda Dicetur Cuculo; calamis ex virgine factis Cedet Apollineus Pollex; Asino{que} Mida{que} Iudicibus: vulgus praeponet Stentora Vlissi. Non humili subiecta toro, at laquearibus altis Fax appensa domum illustrat fulgore corusco.
