Jam vero cum rem propones, nomine nunquam Prodere conveniet… - Marco Girolamo Vida

" "
Jam vero cum rem propones, nomine nunquam
Prodere conveniet manifesto: semper opertis
Indiciis, longe et verborum ambage petita
Significant, umbraque obducunt: inde tamen, ceu
Sublustri e nebula, rerum tralucet imago
Clarius, et certis datur omnia cernere signis.
Hinc si dura mihi passus dicendus Ulysses,
Non ilium vero memorabo nomine, sed qui
Et mores hominum multorum vidit et urbes
Naufragus, eversae post saeva incendia Trojae,
Addam alia, angustis complectens omnia dictis.

Additional quotes by Marco Girolamo Vida

Nec dubitem versus hirsuti saepe poetae
Suspensus lustrare, et vestigare legendo,
Sicubi se quaedam forte inter commoda versu
Dicta meo ostendant, quae mox melioribus ipse
Auspiciis proprios possim mihi vertere in usus,
Detersa prorsus prisca rubigine scabra.

Praeterea haud lateat te nil conarier artem,
Naturam nisi ut assimulet, propiusque sequatur. Hanc unam vates sibi proposuere magistram:
Quicquid agunt, hujus semper vestigia servant.

Primus at ille labor versu tenuisse legentem
Suspensum, incertumque dia qui denique rerum
Eventus maneant.
