[sig. ):(1v] In Viri Clarissimi Pavli Mervlae obitum, Ioachimi Morsii Epigramma.
Viderat æthereos Mervlam transcendere fines,
Nec Batavis claudi nomine limitibus:
Viderat, & cæco stagnans livore, Roseti
Sub iuga lethiferis Morta quatit stimulis.
Mox vbi conspexit vultum morientis & ora,
Ipsa suum fassa est crimen & eribuit.

On the death of the most illustrious Paul Merula, an epigram by Joachim Morsius.
He had seen Merula surpass the heavenly boundaries, not to be confined by the name or limits of the Dutch: He saw, and, stagnant with blind envy, Roseti was shaken under the yoke by Morta's deadly spurs. But as soon as he glimpsed the face and expression of the dying man, he confessed his own crime and blushed with shame.
