Antiquitatis studium.
The study of antiquity
Ad Gulielmum Schryletum.[1]
Le temps peut tout dompter, il void tous les humains
Et tout cela encor qu’ils forgent de leurs mains
Pourtant l’antiquité entre tous honorable
Demeure avec le temps à jamais perdurable.

Monstrant la grand’ vertu des hommes esprouvez.
Les grands arcs de triomphe & beauté des murailles,
Le visage gravé aux antiques medailles
Tesmoignent aujourd’huy la grandeur des esprits,
Dont encor en papier les noms se sont escripts.
Notes:
1. Gulielmus Schirletus (Guglielmo Sirleto): Cardinal and scholar from Calabria, keeper of the Vatican Library (d. 1585).
