^ A Et T V A tot meritis, titulis tot fulgida virtus, (Quae nos fata premunt!) jam moritura cadit?
Virtus, quam quondam fpe&ata Britannia Nobis, R A M S E A D A E Gentis patria terra, dedit:
Virtus, quae Proavos decoravit, Avosque Patresque
Ac Drufo C A R O L O S , Lumina Magna, tulit:
Virtus, quae N A T V M T E vexit ad aethera laudis.
Nubila contegitur, corruit, ecce! fuit.
Nam T E , qui Patriae fudifti pignora vitae, Confilio P R A E S E S Magnus & eloquio, Ac vigili ftudio dixti pro forte T V Q R V M
Verba, fepulchralis jam Libitina rapit.
Aft T V A non rapitur virtus, poft funera vivens Ac T I B I pro curis digna brabaea ferens.
Vivis enim carus conflanti laude per Vrbem, Cin&us legifero Gentis honore T V AE.
Vivis & in N A T O , qui fpes & imago P A R E N T I S . Sed juftus prohibet fcribere plura dolor.

inque fallaces, mea mens, colores Sortis humanae, nihil eft in orbe
Hofpito, quod te relevet, relinque ' ? Membra perefa!
Quid juvat longum maduifle limo Squalido terrae? fatiata nunquam Frudibus caflis, fitiens fuperna,
Linque lutofa!
Fumeo turgee fpecies vapore:
Et columnatae patulis fatifeunt Porticus rimis; cadit arcuatus
Tempore fornix.

Splendet ac late radiat corufca Luce maieftas, rutilant honores Fulgidi: mox & tenebris nigrefcunt
Omnia circum.
Celfa vanefcunt iimulacra patrum, Nec juvat nigras meminilFe ceras, Queis fuit pulcrum nitui (Te quondam;
Fluxa peribunt.
Pallidum lugent lacrimis amici, Morte linquentem fugiunt, beatum Quem falutabant opibusque grandem,
Eminus adftant.
Evehit laetis meritos honores Laudibus, ne&ens numeros, clientum Agmen; hem! nil nunc nifi verba cafla
Ore profantur.
Turba fervorum, ftudium miniftrans, Denfa circumflat, notat aucupando Feruidos nutus: fugit in fupremo
Turbine leti.
Orba, terreftres, mea mens, dolofas Linque res, furfum pete, Tempiterna Quaere, nil hic perpetuum, relinque &
Membra perefa' Sofpitator te propriam dicavit, Sponfa Jefiaei fine fine Nati,
Scande ftellantes propere per auras;
Hic tua lors eft.
Vade tam fido fociata fponfo, Deferet nunquam fibi jam redemptam, Occupa gazas, quibus aeviterna
Atria fplendent.
Dic vale N O S T R I S adamata fernper, Nuntia fortem tibi nunc dicatam,
Serius eundos eadem, quod opta, Fata manebunt.
L . Mque ferib.
