Fidus Praeco DEI, coelestis Cultor Agelli Affidui Pretium grande Laboris habet: Quo Mihi nec Vitâ melior, nec promptior Ore, Gratior aut Vultu, nec fuit Arte prior.
Nil opus ut Nardum Caro combibat uncta Sabaum, Altàve marmoreus Sydera tangat Apex: Non eget HIC Urna, non Marmore •empe Volumen Stats sacrum, vivax Marmor, & Urna, Pro.
Qui CHRISTO vivens incessit Tramite Coeli, Aethereumque obiit Munus, obire nequit: Ducit Hic Angelicis equalta saecula Lustris, Qui VERBO Studium contulit omne suum.
Perlegat Hunc Legum Cultrix Veneranda Senecths, Et quos plena DEO Mens super Astra vehit: Venduntur (quanti!) circum Palatia Fumi! Hic sacer ALTARIS CAREO minoris erit?
Heu! Pietas ubi prisca? prosana ô Tempora! Mundi Faex! Vesper! prope Nox! ô Mora! CHRIST veni. Si valuere Preces unquam, & Custodia CHRISTI, Nunc Opus est Precibus, nunc Ope, CHRISTE, tuâ.
