Elegia secunda, Anno aetatis 17.

In obitum Praeconis Academici Cantabrigiensis.

TE, qui conspicuus baculo fulgente solebas Palladium toties ore ciere gregem, Ultima praeconum praeconem te quoque saeva Mors rapit, officio nec favet ipsa suo. Candidiora licet fuerint tibi tempora plumis Sub quibus accipimus delituisse Jovem, O dignus tamen Haemonio juvenescere succo, Dignus in Aesonios vivere posse dies, Dignus quem Stygiis medicâ revocaret ab undis Arte Coronides, saepe rogante dea. Tu si jussus eras acies accire togatas, Et celer a Phoebo nuntius ire tuo Talis in Iliacâ stabat Cyllenius aula Alipes, aethereâ missus ab arce Patris.

Talis & Eurybates ante ora furentis Achillei Rettulit Atridae jussa severa ducis. Magna sepulchrorum regina, satelles Averni Saeva nimis Musis, Palladi saeva nimis, Quin illos rapias qui pondus inutile terrae, Turba quidem est telis ista petenda tuis. Vestibus hunc igitur pullis Academia luge, Et madeant lachrymis nigra feretra tuis. Fundat & ipsa modos querebunda Elegeia tristes, Personet & totis naenia moesta scholis.
