In eandem Ulmum.
HIc est ante omnes alias mirabilis arbor,Quam non Natura spectes, verum Arte cavatam;Octo pedes & viginti stirps continet Vlmi;Porta duos est lata pedes, ac alta pedes sex;Alta pedes tres & triginta a culmine ad imum;Haec constat gradibus quadraginta at{que} duobus;Qui gradibus lucem prabent, sunt sedecim ocelli.Angusta est porta, arcta via est, quae ducit in altum,Non illi abssimilis, coeli quae tendit ad aevum.Viginti capiunt homines in vertice sedes.
—Esto saCrata Deo MIrabILIs arbor!Parvis arrideto. Micans Scintilla fit Ignis.
