Nec quidquam, nifi te. miferere ardentis: et ipfum,
Qui petit, ore meo præfentem crede precari—
Sic tibi nec vernum nafcentia frigus adurat
Poma; nec excutiant rapidi florentia venti.

Hæc ubi nequicquam formas Deus aptus in omnes, Edidit; in juvenem rediit: et anilia demit Inftrumenta fibi: talifque adparuit illi, Qualis ubi oppofitas nitidiffima folis imago Evicit nubes, nullaque obstante reluxit.

Vimque parat: fed vi non eft opus; inque figura Capta Dei Nympha eft, et mutua vulnera fentit.
