 Purpureisque 

 Exsilis alis, 

 Moxque reportans 

 Conjugis horto 

 Sive rosarum 

 Vel hyacinthi

 Incompostis, 

 O Venus alma, 

 Teque salutant, 

 Et maris sequor

 Fluctuet unda : 

 Mox genus ecce 

 Omne natantum

 Mille colorum 

 Munera conchas, 

 Sanguine multo 

 Tincta coralla

 Splendida dona, 

 Doridos almae 

 Laeve tributum. *
