In inventores avri potabilis.
Ως ὁ Μίδας ποτ' ἄν ὖν μάκαρ, εἰ τέχνην προνόησε
Τοῦ ποιεῖν χρυσὸν βρώσιμον ἠδὲποτόν.
Αἰτήσας γὰρ ἀπὸ Βρομίου πατρὸς ἂν λάβεν αὐτὴν,
Οφρα κέν οἱ σώσαι χρυσὸν ἀπολλύμενον.
Αιὼν οὖν οὗτος πανχρύσεός ἐστιν ἀληθῶς,
Ος προφέρει χρυσὸν βρώσιμον ἠδὲ ποτόν.
Ιατροὶ γὰρ ἔασσι μάλ' ἴδριες, οἵτινες ἄμμιν
Οὐ ποιοῦσι μόνον χρυσὸν ἀπειρέσιον:
Αλλὰ καὶ εὑρόντες τέχνην ἀσκοῦσι ποθεινὴν
Τοῦ ποιεῖν χρυσὸν βρώσιμον ἠδὲ ποτόν.
M. Christophorus Schillingus.

On the inventors of Aurum potabile
As once Midas might have been blessed,
Had he foreseen the art
Of making gold both edible and drinkable.
For asking from the father Bromius, he might have received it,
So as to save the gold that was being wasted.
Indeed, this age truly is all-golden,
It offers gold both edible and drinkable.
Doctors are truly wondrous, those who for us
Not only produce limitless gold,
But also, having discovered the art, they practice making
Gold both edible and drinkable.
