VRBANI VIII.
APES
IN SIDERA RELATÆ
CÆLESTEM CRATEREM
IMPLENT NECTARE.

CVr modò cæruleis APIS emicat aurea campis,
Sueta priùs viridi carpere mella thymo?
Aluear vt subijt, quod terna Tiara coronat,
Mutat ouans Cœlo Dia Melissa solum.
Scis quid agat Superis felicior aduena Regnis?
Id quod humi fecit, iam facit illa Polo.
Mel APIS alma fauis instillat & impluit Astris,
Quale dat Enna suis, quale dat Etna rosis,
Quale dat Hybla sacras inuitans ruris alumnas,
Quale dat Actæis hospes Hymettis agris.
Sic olim sitiens liquido sine nectare sidus.
Sidereus Crater, iam noua mella bibet.

Baldvini Cabiliavi S.I.
