PArcite: Noster amat facunda silentia luctus,
Postquam obiit solus dicere qui potuit:
Dicere, quae stupeat Procerum generosa corona,
Nexa{que} sollicitis solvere Jurareis.
Vastum opus. At nostras etiam Verulamius artes
INSTAURAT veteres, condit & ille novas.
Non qua majores: Penitos verum ille recessus
NATURAE, audaci provocat ingenio.
Ast Ea, siste gradum, seris{que} nepotibus, (inquit,)
Linque quod inventum saecla minora juvet.
Sit satis, his sese quod nobilitata Jnventis,
Jactent ingenio tempora nostra tuo.
Est aliquid, quo mox ventura superbiet aetas;
Est, soli notum quod decet esse mihi:
Sit tua laus, pulchros Corpus duxisse per artus,
Integra cui nemo reddere membra queat:

Sic opus artificem in fectum commendat Apellem,
Cum pingit reliquam nulla manus Venerem.
Dixit, & indulgens caeco Natura furori,
Praesecuit vitae Filum Operis{que} simul.
At Tu, qui pendentem audes detexere telam,
Solus quem condant haec monumentascies.
