"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."
