Living
Devenere locos laetos & amaena vireta
Fortunatorum nemorum sedés que beatas,
Largior hic campos aether, & lumine vestit
Purpureo, Solém que suum, sua sidera norunt.

—Pauci laeta arva tenemus,
Donec longa dies perfecto temporis orbe,
Concretam exemit labem, purúm que reliquit
Aetherium sensum at que aurai simplicis ignem.
—Animae quibus altera fato
Corpora debentur.
