by John Parkinson

Plena tuo pariter spectatur Curia in Horto,

Hic Princeps, Dux hic, Sponsaque pulchra Ducis.

Quæque dies est festa dies, nec parcius vnquam

Luxuriant, lauta hæc; Quotidiana tamen.

Ecce velut Patriæ Paradisi haud immemor Exul,

Hunc naturali pingit amore sibi.

Pingit & ad vivum sub eodem nomine, & hic est

Fronticuli sudor quem cerebrique dedit:

Astat Adam medius Paradiso noster in isto

Et species nomen cuique dat ipse suum.
