M. Spei Juveni, Rob, Baronio, Amico.

In sese acervos mutuos fluctus cient,
Reddunque Nautis triste & intutum fretum:
Et aulici artes, abditi atque impervij,
Scelerisque pleni, Numinisque nescij,
Creant ruinam gentibus: Sic floridas
Segetes perurit ignis Ætnæi vapor.
At hos recessus ac Cœleste absconditus
Retexti, amœni & floridi Genij parens!
Sic quippe magnum Scelera novisse;
At magis illa eleganter tradidisse posteris.
J. Hall.
