Ad limina sanctae
contendit Fidei secretaque pectora temptat.
arcanis dea laeta polo tum forte remoto
caelicolum magnas uoluebat conscia curas.

'Ante Iouem generata, decus diuumque hominumque,
qua sine non tellus pacem, non aequora norunt,
iustitiae consors...'

centeno fractus spumabat verbere pontus.
