Anonymi elegia ad Lec-
_torem_.
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.
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._
