Risus, sputa, alapas, flagra, clavos passus, in altaPro nobis furca extensus, quam nemo tuetur,
Salvifici labefacta cadit res publica Christi
Fitque minor sic et cunctas decrescit in horas.
Quid contra paucos, quorum furor urget ⌊Enyus⌋
155
Discordes animos, credis nunc posse tot hostes,Imperium quorum subiit tota
Pars simul
Miserunt et qui toto dominantur in orbe?
Munitae nihil his celsis in montibus arces,
160
Nil urbesque obsunt; vites populantur et agrosAbducuntque homines. Nec enim munitio prodest,
Desertis postquam sulcis non semina dantur.
Vertite dira procul, superi! Nisi rebus in istis
Unio nunc fiat, Byzantia pestis[4] et
165
Hoc prohibere potes solus,
Instantes exstingue faces, ne fortior ignis
Post contemnat aquas; primis his motibus obsta!
Hoc pietas, iurata fides, hoc suadet honestum;
170
Utile erit cunctis, qui Christi nomen adorant.Ne te seducant, magni nec
Tot querulis deinceps precibus vel munere vincant
Hi, qui bella fremunt et numquam bella capessunt
Adversus fidei tot tela minantia nostrae!

Omnia vi quondam male dum concessa tenebantFastu sub tumido et sub cuncta licentia agebant
Immodica nullamque prius confinia pacem,
Ad quam devincti fuerant, habuere, sub armis
Gentiles subiere domus, vicinia late

Nunc etiam possent tranquillo vivere luxu
Deliciisque frui, prout consuevere, vicissim
Sed
185
Illorum mentes, ut summo a praesule bellisDecretis obsint contra Mahometica castra,
Votaque quod tantis faciant discordia coeptis
Inficiantque animos, ducantque in proelia mundum
Christicolum. Quare superi olim tempore prisco
190
Non castigarunt frustra delicta nocentum.Sed feror in praeceps! Quo coepi, rursus eundum est!
Huc etiam domina legatus missus ab
Cardineo summique patris suffultus honore,
Pannoniae primas regni pervenit, in isto
195
Conventu multa ingenio qui multaque fidoCommoda consilio pro regni utriusque salute
Disquirit velletque libens succurrere rebus,
Ne sic infectis hinc reges forsan abirent.
Namque videt prudens, per multa volumina rerum,
200
Tot mala, quae parvis sunt exorientia causis.Nunc igitur, quamvis labyrintho, quidquid agendum,
Fertur in ambiguo quodamque errore laborent
Omnia, spes magna est cunctis, prudentia regum
Istorum, tot pontificumque ducumque probata
205
Inventa hoc, quod adhuc, vertent in dulcia, amarum est.Sic lux post tenebras, aether post nubila clarus,
Saepius et sic post adversa secunda sequuntur.
Quid referam innumeros proceres, heroas et auro
Torquatos equites, huc qui venere superbo
210
Regum in circuitu, quid equos phalerasque rubentes,Auratas chlamydes, pretiosa monilia, gemmas,
Hunnus quae dives,
Quae tulit acer eques, fortis quae deinde Bohemus?
Enumerare prius possem, quot,
215
Dum fulget cornu, sint aurea sidera caeli;Igneus et medio dum flagrat
Quot seges omnis habet tenues per iugera aristas,
Quot sparsim volvat Libycoque in litore arenas
Auster, dum tumido bacchatur turbidus aestu,
220
Singula quam tantae valeam spectacula pompaeDicere totque graves currus, rubrasque quadrigas,
Multaque, nulla prior quae viderat ante vetustas.
Nec solum tanti Martis procerumque tumultus;
Venerat huc etiam doctorum clara virorum

Contio. De quibus huc a Doctus et in variis versatus rebus agendis,
Philyrides certe vel nostro tempore
Et medica fertur praestans ut in arte Machaon:
230
Tam bene languori vario morbisque medetur.Fotus et a teneris sollers
Aula in caesarea, nudae virtutis amator,
Ingenio promptus, multum facundus in ore,
Seu leges vel iura patrum, vel carmina dicat.

Et Iovis interpres veri, qui grandia facta
Quod sua non potis est umquam evanescere fama.
⌊Piso⌋ etiam, nostro vir in aevo doctus et acer,

Magnorum nuper qui multa negotia regumTractabat. Quodsi stricto pede sive soluto
Aggreditur quidquam, nil est exactius. Exin

Ursinus cognomen habens, aetate
Et par ingenio, Graio et sermone Latino
250
Imbutus, vates et praeco Saepius hic culto certavit carmine mecum
Lenivitque meos pertaeso in corde dolores,
Quos cepi sensim tabescens taedio in isto.
Candida iam nova ter rursum sua cornua Phoebe
255
Induit, Arctois procul hinc quod vivimus oris.Omnia pulchra quidem sunt, omnia amoena sub isto
Tempore, per montes, per plana virecta, per amnes,
Per vernos prospectus agros it laetus, at ipsa
Iam mora sola nocet, nobis mora sola molesta est.
260
Ergo veni tandem, Adventum
Non solum tecum contra hostes foedus inibunt
— Tu modo ne deses toties videare morando! —
Sed tecum conubia, sed laetos hymenaeos.

Moenia si Austriacae nunc sunt adeunda Danubiusque celer tranandus, sive locanda
Ad ripas campo castrensia tecta in amico,
Vel quocumque loco placeat congressus, ad istos

Ergo veni cupidisque tui te protinus offer!
