Tuque genethliacas sollers quadrare tabellas,
Felix natalis necne sit hora, doces;

Quo junctum affectu fuerit cum sidere sidus,
Quo, legis, aspectu res hominesque regat.
Tuque etiam, interpres fatorum, et nuncius astris,
Callidus æthereas es reserare domos.

Quem meritis fortuna tuis indulsit honorem,
O adeo illustri digne minister hero!
Quis non invideat frater tibi muneris illud?
Quis tua non laudet sidera φιλομαθής ?
Cum musis musæ famulantur, et artibus artes,
Majori (ut fas est) obsequiosa minor ;
Nec melior lex est, nec convenientior æquo,
Quam siet astronomo servus ut astrologus.
