CARMINA Redditur risior patriae, refulgens Aureis vittis et honore palmae,

Septus aeterna superum corona

Rodditur heros. DiVe, quem templis veneramur Umbris, Umbriae fines placido revisens Lumine, exoptata reduc opimae Gaudia pacis. Dive, Pastorem tua in urbe quondam Infula cinctum, socium et laborum, Quem pius tutum per iter superna Luce regebas, Nunc Petri cymbam tumidum per aequor Ducere, et pugnae per acuta cernis Spe bona certaque levare in altos

Lumina montes.

Possit o tandem, domitis procellis,

Visere optatis LM Victor oras; occupet tandem vaga cymba portum Sospite cursu. 92

VIVAX in aevum gloria Μartyrum

CARMINA Per te refulget vivida mentibus Lux alma veri; diruta numinum Delubra: proculcat ruinas Rolligio sine clade Victrix. Ardens in iras Tartarus infremit, Astuque versat multiplici dolos, Si qua sacerdotis molestas Forte queat tenuare Vires. At dira passus, praeside Flario, FELICIANVA fortior evenit; Non probra, non irae minaces Intrepidi vim animi refringunt. Quin ad supremae munera laureaΘFestinat heros, quem Senio graVem, Longa satigatumque pugna Dius Amor renovat iuVenta. 98

CARMINA Te christiani nominis impetit

cruentus hostis; caesarea ferox Lauro, triumphatisque Persis, Vincors te Decius laborat. Sed quid voluntas effera Caesaris, Aut imminentis carnificis furor Possint ' Deus te nil paventem Praesidio potiore firmat. Devota Christo victima concidis;

Caeli coruscana regia panditur, Festaque praecinctum corona Excipiunt Superum cohortes. Ceu Sidus istino usque renideas Umbris amicum gentibus aurea Cum luce, caligantis aevi Per dubios radiante cursus.100
