  • Sic tibi florentes aequaeuo germine nati
    indolis aetheriae sidera celsa petant,
    sic priscos uincant atauos clarosque parentis
    exsuperent meritis saeclaque longa gerant,
    sic subolis numerum transcendat turba nepotum
    nobilibusque iuges gaudia tanta toris:
    ne sterilem praestes indigno munere Musam,
    utque soles, largus carmina nostra foue,
    imperiis ut nostra tuis seruire Thalia
    possit et in melius personet icta chelys.
