Authori Sacrum.
QUod nemo est ausus citior, quod nemo Sophorum Praestitit, in calamo claret in orbe tuo Hactenus in sophicis sparsim tumulata tenebris Ars jacuit, dubiis inveterata strophis. Fabula nasutis; avidis{que} Tarantula stultis; Oedipus ignaris; & Labyrinthus avis. Hic asinum fingebat equum, mox certior alter Pone aures leporem se tenuisse putat. Sic inhians Lapidi, Lapidis vice volvere saxum Conatur chymici nescia turba gregis. Hoc quantum tua nunc removendo industria saxo Contribuat, sophiae judicat ipse tyro. Semisophi{que} tuos psallent sine fraude labores, Veri candoris propria signa tui. Et ciniflona cohors, exspes, prostrata, resumptis Viribus, antiquum (macte!) subibit onus. Ne vero sine re sis infelicior ipsis, Perge laborantem continuare manum, Participes{que} Sacro digitos carbone notare, Ut videant sibi Te reddere nolle parem.Page [unnumbered]
