In temerarios.
The reckless
LXIIII.
Aspicis aurigam currus Phaetonta[1] paterni
Ignivomos ausum flectere Solis equos:
Maxima qui postquŕm terris incendia sparsit,
Est temerč insesso lapsus ab axe miser.
Sic plerique rotis Fortunae ad sydera Reges
Evecti, ambitio quos iuvenilis agit,
Post magnam humani generis clademque suamque,
Cunctorum poenas denique dant scelerum.
You see here Phaethon, driving his father’s chariot, and daring to guide the fire-breathing steeds of the Sun. After spreading great conflagrations over the earth, the wretched boy fell from the car he had so rashly mounted. - Even so, the majority of kings are borne up to heaven on the wheels of Fortune, driven by youth’s ambition. After they have brought great disaster on the human race and themselves, they finally pay the penalty for all their crimes.

Wider die freuenlichen.[2]
LXIIII.
Da Phaeton noch jung und schwach,
Die Sonn zu fiernn in stoltz gedachte,
Verbrant er die ganntz welt gar nach,
Und sich selbs umb das leben bracht:
Noch manch Furst jung, und unbedacht,
Offt durch ehrgeytz, und hochfart wennd
Zu gmaynem ungluck all sein macht,
Und puest zu loetzt mit boesem ennd.
