I pistomrise he is sogonimatedessoubs the planet of Mercurial sphere,
And peripheriat with colescential fat,
that bibaseis anthropien penns his paines to reare,
Opthalms to see, Oreachias for to heare,
Miracula Mensium and mouths commend
per tantos trabaios, as it doeth appeare,
which periergos cariotts plume hathe pend.
Ma pegaso L'ale' hathe him lend,
Neptunus horse boreas helps his passage,
flouds, hils, denns stand Largo to this end,
for his returne, de foy, qui n'est pas-sage,
wheare now he hathe imprinted this brave booke,
whils without poets helps had gone in smooke.

Quod si nemo legat tamen haud scripsisse pigebit nam quœ nemo legit carpere nemo solet. Il Candido.
