[sig. A1v] Cordato lectori.
Qvi tibi perpetuos, lector, prius optime fastos
Perpetuæ scripsit posteritatis opus:
Jdem perpetuo nunc quæ præsagia durent
Tempore, perpetuas adijcit autor opes.
Huic tu perpetuas pro tanto age munere grates,
Petpetuaq́ue viri nomina laude vehe.
Christophorus Manlius Lusatius.
