Miles Hyperboreos modo, Marcelline, triones
Et Getici tuleras sidera pigra poli:
Ecce Promethei rupes et fabula montis
Quam prope sunt oculis nunc adeunda tuis!
Videris inmensis cum conclamata querellis
Saxa senis, dices 'Durior ipse fuit.'
Et licet haec addas: 'Potuit qui talia ferre,
Humanum merito finxerat ille genus.'
