Summa tuae, Meleagre, fuit quae gloria famae,
quantast Carpophori portio, fusus aper!
Ille et praecipiti uenabula condidit urso,
primus in Arctoi qui fuit arce poli,
strauit et ignota spectandum mole leonem,
herculeas potuit qui decuisse manus,
et uolucrem longo porrexit uulnere pardum.
Praemia cum tandem ferret, adhuc poterat.
