Quem genuit campis Flandria picta suis.

Hic Tarvisina nam primus coepit in urbe

Artifici raros aere notare libros.

Quoque magis faueant excelsi numina regis

Aurelii sacrum nunc manuale dedit.

Gerard de Lisa may great glory claim—

He who from Flanders’ glowing meadows came—

For in Treviso’s town he foremost was

To print rare books by the skilled use of brass.

And that the heavenly powers may more him bless,
