Anno aetatis 17. In obitum Praesulis Eliensis.
ADhuc madentes rore squalebant genae,Et sicca nondum luminaAdhuc liquentis imbre turgebant salis,Quem nuper effudi pius,Dum maesta charo justa persolvi rogoWintoniensis praesulis.Cum centilinguis Fama (proh semper maliCladisque vera nuntia)Spargit per urbes divitis Britanniae,Populosque Neptuno satos,Cessisse morti, & ferreis sororibusTe generis humani decus,Qui rex sacrorum illâ fuisti in insulâQuae nomen Anguillae tenet.Tunc inquietum pectus irá protinusEbulliebat fervidâ,Tumulis potentem saepe devovens deam:Nec vota Naso in IbidaConcepit alto diriora pectore,Graiusque vates parciùs

Turpem Lycambis execratus est dolum▪Sponsamqne Neobolen suam.At ecce diras ipse dum fundo graves,Et imprecor neci necem,Audisse tales videor attonitus sonosLeni, sub aurâ, flamine:Caecos furores pone, pone vitreamBilemque & irritas minas,Quid temerè violas non nocenda numina,Subitoque ad iras percita.Non est, ut arbitraris elusus miser,Mors atra Noctis filia,Erebóve patre creta, sive Erinnye,Vastóve nata sub Chao:Ast illa caelo missa stellato, DeiMesses ubique colligit;Animasque mole carneâ reconditasIn lucem & auras evocat:Ut cum fugaces excitant Horae diemThemidos Jovisque filiae;Et sempiterni ducit ad vultus patris;At justa raptat impiosSub regna furvi luctuosa Tartari,Sedesque subterraneas

Hane ut vocantem laetus audivi, citoFoedum reliqui carcerem,Volatilesque faustus inter militesAd astra sublimis feror:Vates ut olim raptus ad coelum senexAuriga currus ignei,Non me Boötis terruere lucidiSarraca tarda frigore, autFormidolosi Scorpionis brachia,Non ensis Orion tuus.Praetervolavi fulgidi solis globum,Longéque sub pedibus deamVidi triformem, dum coercebat suosFraenis dracones aureis.Erraticorum syderum per ordines,Per lacteas vehor plagas,Velocitatem saepe miratus novam,Donec nitentes ad foresVentum est Olympi, & regiam Crystallinam, &Stratum smaragdis Atrium.Sed hic tacebo, nam quis effari queatOriundus humano patreAmoenitates illius loci, mihiSat est in aeternum frui.
