Johann Weyer, Chief Physician to the Most Illustrious Duke of Cleves.
<poem>
To me, learned Weyer, he seems to wander in all ways and throughout
The wandering error of the sky,
Who, lurking under the name of the Paracelsist sect,
Believed that your name derived from "Wandering" (Errando).
Unless, because those straying from the straight path, you force
(Like the Paracelsists) to tread the right way.
For neither did Mistake (Error) bestow upon you the surname "Astray" (Deuius),
Whom neither a deviating Mistake drives sideways.
Not the Path which leads to the waves of Tartarean Acheron
Is wider: Your name grants a Narrow Journey.
The path, by force, which leads us to the high curves of the poles
Ascends, and the rising path reaches the stars.
Only now, continue on the path that Life’s Journey leads, of bliss,
And pave your way, Weyer, to the heavens.
Thus, you shall be the Love (Cupido) of the Latin Way and Life,
And in the Argolic voice, Weyer is the Love (Ερως) of Life (Βίου).
