Vpon the Venetian History written by Petrus Bembus.

4. Claræ urbi Venetum, Debes natalia Bembe,
vrbs eadem clara est munere Bembe tuo.

O Bembus Venice in thy birth is fam'd,
And in thy worth the Cities worth proclaim'd,
Thou happy in that Citty, and agen,
It happy to have thee a Citizen;
Yet thou O Bembus by thy learned booke,
Gav'st back more to it, than from it thou tooke.
What thou receiv'st, was mortall, and must dy;
What thou returnst, shall live eternally.
