Ad Sigimundum et Alagisilum
Nomina amicorum mihi dulcis epistula pandit:
hinc Sigimunde nitens, hinc Alagisle decens.
prosperitas felix ventorum flamina fudit,
quando mihi caros nuntiat aura viros.
testor utrumque caput, tantum mea vota iuvantur
quantum fit florens laeta sub imbre seges.
ne sitiam rabidis aestivo tempore flammis,
nectarei fontis me recreastis aquis.
post Italas terras mittis mihi, Ebene, parentes;
adventu fratrum non peregrinus ero.
tempore belligero pacis nova gaudia surgunt,
hi quia venerunt quos meus optat amor.
qui mihi festivae diei duplicastis honorem,
sic vester crescat munere regis honor.
