“Vos quoque, qui fortes animas belloque peremptas
Laudibus in longum, Vates, dimittitis Ævum,
Plurima securi fudistis carmina Bardi.”

Lucanus.

Aonio statuam sublimes vertice Bardos,
Bardos Pieridum cultores atque canentis
Phoebi delicias, quibus est data cura perennis
Dicere nobilium clarissima facta virorum,
Aureaque excelsam famam super astra locare.”

Lelandus in Assertione Arturii.
