Vitam quae faciunt Episcopalem
Impraelatur Marshiales, haec sunt;
Res non anxit adepta, sed decata;
Non ambitus Honor, Sapor peren n is;
Lis nunqu am , toga casta, mens superna;
Artes ingenuae, favens Potestas;
Prudens dextera, liberalis Aula;
Non caelo ebria, pernegata Curis;
Non crispus Torus, attamen venust us
Somnus, qui monet horulas fugaces;
Quod sint esse velint, Suprema malint;
Optent Parliamenta, non pavescant.
