by John Parkinson

Tum profers mensæ quicquid & hortus alit,

Laudatos nobis fructus & promis honores,

Profers, quas celebrant nullibi scripta virum,

Herbarum species, quibus est quoque grata venustas:

Sic nos multiplici munere, Amice, beas.

Hoc cape pro meritis, florum dum gratia floret,

Suntque herbis vires; en tibi Nomen erit.

In serum semper tua gloria floreat ævum,

Gloria quæ in longum non peritura diem.
