IN ANATOMICUM THEATRUM LUGD. BATAV . Advena , qui Batavas spectatum veneris oras , Huc age , quae stupeas inclyta Leyda dabit , Huc ubi Legiferam . Cererem comitatur Osiris , Isidos Argolicae suspice signa Deae ; Frustra Deum fragilis Fortunae idola profana , Urnam , quae cineres relligiosa notet . Lampada , ad humanos quae non pervenerit usus , Cui magis in cultu , cui magis apta Deum ! Vixerit aeternae tantum se pasta lucernae Flammula , an invisae larva sit illa rei ? Quâ lacerarit acu , qualem cui Fibula vestem . Vinxerit , unde sagum strinxerit , unde togam : Divitis Aegypti pretiosa cadavera , lata Finibus Eois , invidiosa Diis : Singula nosse juvet , tamen his & inania rerum , Et maris , & terrae viscera posthaebeas ; Erudit in cantum te vox facunda CRAMERI , Et claram ambiguo praestat ubique facem . Sic saecli penetrare sinus , & viscera veri . Sic poteris Roma prodigiore frui . CORN . à MAERSCHE .
