En aetas iam aurea incipit vigere Regnaque saturnea revolvuntur vere, 2. Parvulus dum nascitur ex intemerata Virgine, quae pariens mansit illibata. 3. Sibyllinis versibus hic fuit praedictus, Quod Maro commemorat, nec est sermo fictus. 4. Utrique ergo psallite, Matri, nato canite pie resonantes. 5. Tibi Deus pater grates, Qui in figura per vates filium spopondisti; 6. Atque tibi sacrum flamen, Qui nobis consolamen obumbrando contulisti. 7. R° Narrando poetice, Intelligendo mystice, is est Saloninus, Vera sapientia, filius divinus. |
