Ad Sigimundum
CARISSIMO ET OMNI GRATIA PRAEDICANDO SIGIMVNDO FORTVNATVS SALVTEM
Fixus amore tuo votis inhiantibus adstans
quae tibi, care, salus, saepe requiro viros:
quisque viator adest properans Aquilonis ab axe,
quamvis festinum sollicitando moror;
seu privata virum seu publica cura citabit,
hinc, nisi perconter, nullus abibit iter.
quam vegetus membris? quae te loca, care, coercent?
ordine disposito cuncta requirit amor.
si gravis arma tenens Italas terit hospes harenas
aut quae Francus habet pagina pandat age.
quid geris, oro, refer; tamen ut queo longius opto
vivas pars animae dimidiata meae.
