Ferreus est, quem non tristissima tangit imago
Nescit in Heroem tale venire nefas,
praeterea exiguo semperluctabere campo
praemia nec tanto digna labore fetes.
Turopaeque parem paucis impendere molem
Urbibus hoc tituli nomen inane dabit.
Aeternasque duos populos damnabis ad iras,
Posteritasque odii perpetis haeres erit.
Ah potias Rex magne pios Tibi quaere triumphos
poeniteat tantis contribuisse malis
Huc potius verte invictam Rex inclyte dextram,
Inque nova a superis sceptra parata veni.
Immensasque orientis opes, Memphitica regna,
A dare proclivi desine nolle Deo.
Et pius et magnus bello celebrabere ab uno,
Foenore tam grandi poenituisse datur.
Da pacem Europae et communibus annue votis
dumlicet, et fati est arbitra vestra manus.
In Christi populofines serventur aviti
duos Deus et veteri limite signat ager.
Justitiamque tuam celebret Germanid; fas sit
Teutona securos degere posse dies.
Ad majora veni: Dudum Mahometica proles
Responsis Divum Francica tela timet.
Progenitor sanctus stimulis ingentibus urget
Caeteraque aeternum dant Tibi signa decus.
Quid molles Asiae, et spoliis gens nata volentum,
Et praedator Arabs Gallica in arma queant 2
Si longinqua putas concedet Gallus Ibero
Milite qui parvo solis obivit iter.
Omnia Neptunus terrarum brachia jungit,
Et gens est Batavo nulla remota nimis.
Tu Gadibus clauso potes haec agere omnia Ponto,
Et mare quod monstro jam tua vela colit.
Aspice victori tendentem brachia Nilum
Pandere coeruleos intua jura sinus;
Auroraeque aditus spondentem atque extima mundi
Grataque Idumaei balsama, thura sabae.
Per Te impostor Arabs tumulo dejectus avito
Exolvat populos relligione gravi.
Aspirat tantos Prorex Lusitanus ad ausus,
Et Tu flos hominum Rex Ludovice negas.
stent cuivis sua jura; alio se extendat in orbe
Magnus Iber: Fagi sit Goa nata jugo;
Romanaeque Asia repetat sibi Caesarhonores;
Atque omnis Venetos insula Graja canat.
