Candide Poliphilum narrantem somnia Lector auscultes, summo somnia missa polo, Non operam perdes, non hæc audisse pigebit, tam varijs mirum rebus abundat opus. Si grauis & tetricus contemnis erotica, rerum nosce precor seriem tam bene dispositam. Abnuis? ac saltem stylus & noua lingua novusq; sermo grauis, sophia, se rogat aspicias. Id quoq; sirenuis, geometrica cerne vetusta plurima milliacis disce referta notis. Hic sunt Pyramides, thermæ, ingentesq; Colossi, ac Obeliscorum forma vetusta patet. Hic diuersa basis fulget, variæque columnæ illarumq; arcus, Zophora, epistilia, Et capita atq; trabes, et cum quadrante coronæ symmetria, & quicquid tecta superba facit. Hic regum cernes exculta palatia, cultus Nympharum, fontes, egregiasque epulas. [v] Hinc bicolor chorea est latronum, expressaque tota in Laberintheis vita hominum tenebris. Hinc lege de triplici quæ maiestate tonantis dicat, & in portis egerit ipse tribus. Polia qua fuerit forma, quam culta, tryumphos inde Iouis specta quatuor æthereos. Hæc præter varios affectus narrat amoris, atque opera & quantum sæuiat ille Deus. |
