Natali, Dantisce, tuo pia sacra frequentet
Quisquis Castalio lavit in amne caput.
Personet aurata cithara praedulcis Agileus
Et carmen solito laetius ore canat.
Illo Muses Greek goddesses of literature and the arts⌊PieridesMuses Greek goddesses of literature and the arts⌋ saltent cantante sorores
Et sua cum Apollo one of the twelve great Olympian gods, son of Zeus and Leto, twin brother of Artemis⌊PhoebiApollo one of the twelve great Olympian gods, son of Zeus and Leto, twin brother of Artemis⌋ carmine mixta sonent.
Adsit, adhuc pedibus surisque madentibus Evan
Nuper ab expresso praela peruda mero.
Altera post decimam lux haec trieterida nobis
Annua lux partus conscia grandis adest.
Tale vel hoc carmen pariturae ad limina matris
Divino clarius protulit ore deus.
Nascere felici puer o pulcherrime fato
Tantum non Apollo one of the twelve great Olympian gods, son of Zeus and Leto, twin brother of Artemis⌊PhoeboApollo one of the twelve great Olympian gods, son of Zeus and Leto, twin brother of Artemis⌋ pulchrior et Bromio.
Et tibi formoso crescant in corpore vires
Membra lacertosis sint bene firma toris.
Qualis erat cum victor ovans Tirynthius heros
Aurea ab Hesperio mala dracone tulit.
Et celeber scriptis, et factis clarus habetor.
Carmina Peligno proxima lude seni.
Prima tuos ignes recitabunt ludicra: toto
Prospera, paramour of Ioannes DANTISCUS (†1524)⌊ProsperaProspera, paramour of Ioannes DANTISCUS (†1524)⌋ versiculis vivet in orbe tuis.
Tristia post laetos vulgabis carmina versus,
Et dices patrio praelia facta solo.
Signaque Sarmatici victricia regis, et arma
Vidit Pellaei quae ducis ara canes.
Arma per infecti disiecta Boristhenis undas:
Cumque suis armis corpora vasta virum.
Magna tibi semper fulgebit gratia regum,
Quorum munificas experiere manus.
Tum peregre populos varios visurus et urbes
Ibis, et externis gentibus hospes eris.
Cymbrica namque leges prima formose iuventa
Littora, permensus Baltheon ante fretum.
Acre virum genus, et validos Saxones adibis.
Omne per Hercynium progrediere nemus.
Innumeros late populos, gentesque videbis
Quas claudunt gelidis Rhine (Rhein, Rhenus), river in central Europe, flowing through Switzerland, Germany (partially as a border with France) and the Netherlands, into the North Sea⌊RhenusRhine (Rhein, Rhenus), river in central Europe, flowing through Switzerland, Germany (partially as a border with France) and the Netherlands, into the North Sea⌋ et Danube (Dunaj, Donau), river in central and eastern Europe⌊IsterDanube (Dunaj, Donau), river in central and eastern Europe⌋ aquis.
Italy (Italia)⌊ItaliaeItaly (Italia)⌋ posthac et opes miratus et urbes
Audebis vastos per maris ire sinus.
Alcinoi veteres primum mirabere sedes.
Alta tibi hospitium deinde Zacinthus erit.
Atque Epidaurus, ubi serpentis imagine cultus
Indigenis Phoebo natus in aede fuit.
Atque Rhodes (Rodos), island in the Aegean Sea, 1522-12 - 1912 belonged to the Ottoman Empire⌊RhodonRhodes (Rodos), island in the Aegean Sea, 1522-12 - 1912 belonged to the Ottoman Empire⌋ Apollo one of the twelve great Olympian gods, son of Zeus and Leto, twin brother of Artemis⌊PhoeboApollo one of the twelve great Olympian gods, son of Zeus and Leto, twin brother of Artemis⌋ claram, et magno Jupiter (Jove), king of the gods in ancient Roman mythology⌊IoveJupiter (Jove), king of the gods in ancient Roman mythology⌋ Crete, island in the Mediterranean Sea⌊CretaCrete, island in the Mediterranean Sea⌋
Et Cyprus, island in the Mediterranean Sea⌊CypronCyprus, island in the Mediterranean Sea⌋ Idaliae regna superba deae.
Et Syria⌊SyriaeSyria⌋ populos, et inhospita vasta videbis,
Qua non aequoreo tutius extat iter.
Quin et adorabis sacrum quo condita passi
Lurida sarcophago membra fuere dei.
Quaeque Palaestinas loca sunt veneranda per oras
Bethlemiumque larem Calvariaeque solum.
Denique Trinacriam, fumantemque ignibus Aetnam
Conspicies, Siculo praeteriture freto.
Claram et Parthenopen peragrabis, et Appula iuxta
Arva, et Campani rura beata soli.
Atque orbis dominam victi mirabere Romam,
Quicquid et in tota visitur Ausonia.
Mox iterum regumque aulis, regumque vacabis
Conciliis, regum laus erit arma sequi.
Regius Augusti vives orator in aula
Iussus ad Euganeos saepius ire patres.
Ista quidem mediis iam tum perfeceris annis
Pectus et ingenium testificata tuum.
Cum decorata sacrae lambent tua tempora laurus
Caesaris invicta munera lata manu.
Quod reliquum est vitae spatium, nam longa beato
Pollicita est facilis stamina parca tibi.
Curret id omne tibi feliciter, et tenor unus
Unus erit vitae cursus ubique tuae.
Et non est oneri tibi sera futura senectus
Sed viridis, sed quae rara venire solet.
Ipse tuas augebit opes, augebit honores
Rex tuus, ingrata ni volet esse manu.
Sic cecinit Apollo one of the twelve great Olympian gods, son of Zeus and Leto, twin brother of Artemis⌊PhoebusApollo one of the twelve great Olympian gods, son of Zeus and Leto, twin brother of Artemis⌋. Apollo one of the twelve great Olympian gods, son of Zeus and Leto, twin brother of Artemis⌊PhoeboApollo one of the twelve great Olympian gods, son of Zeus and Leto, twin brother of Artemis⌋ cessante sorores
Lanificae nivei staminis orsa trahunt.
Solvebat magnum Lucina facillima partum.
Et positum est utero dulce parentis onus.
Natus es in lucem, lux o generosa tuorum.
Felicem o genium terque quaterque tuum.
Natus es auspicibus diis et Iunone secunda.
Fila quater vitae terque beata tuae.
Sed iam convivae plausum date. Pocula sumat
Quisque simul mecum et talia voce sonet:
Vivat io Dantiscus, io laetum exigat aevum
Vivat io patriae, vivat io ille suis.
Est bene, non votis optamus inanibus ista
Risit, et optatis annuit ipse deus.
