Mi salve Morsi, varias quem Musa per artes
Duxit in arcanis ingeniosa vijs,
Indolis instinctu cœlos imitaris & auras,
Ingenijq́ue cluis nobilitate tui:
Scilicet illustras summorum scripta virorum,
Iecisti famæ semina magna tuæ,
Qui nunc sunt homines, & qui nascentur ab illis,
Instituent dotes magnificare tuas.
