XXVIII
Est et ibi maior portus,
fetus ager, florens ortus,
pietatis balsamum:
Alexander ille meus,
meus, inquam, cui det Deus
paradisi thalamum.
XXIX
Ille fovet litteratos,
cunctos malis incurvatos,
si posset, erigeret.
Verus esset cultor Dei,
nisi latus Elisei
Giezi corrumperet.
XXX
Sed ne rursus in hoc mari
me contingat naufragari,
dictis finem faciam,
quia, dum securus eo,
ne submergar, ori meo
posui custodiam.
