VIRUM BT PISCATOREM OPTMUM. 



ISA ACE) Made hue arte piscaturia; 

 Hac arte Petrus principi censum dedit ; 

 Hac arte princeps nee Petro multo prior, 

 Tranquillus ille, teste Tranquillo, 1 pater 

 Patriue, solebat recreare se lubens 

 Augustus, hamo instructus ac arundine. 

 Tu mine, Amice, proximum clari es decus 

 Post Csesarera hanii, gentis ac Halieuticse : 

 Euge, O professor, artis baud inglorioe, 

 Doctor catbedree, perlegens piscariam ! 

 Nee tu raagister, & ego discipulus tuus, 

 Nam candidatum & me ferunt arundinis, 

 Socium hac in arte nobilem nacti suraus. 

 Quid amplius, Wai tone, nam dici potest? 

 Ipse hamiota Dominus en orbis fuit !
