Have, mi Torani, frater carissime. Epigramma, quod
extra ordinem paginarum est, ad Stertinium clarissimum
virum scripsimus, qui imaginem meam ponere in biblio-
theca sua voluit. De quo scribendum tibi putavi, ne
5ignorares, Avitus iste quis vocaretur. Vale et para ho-
spitium.
Note, licet nolis, sublimi pectore vates,
Cui referet serus praemia digna cinis,
Hoc tibi sub nostra breve carmen imagine vivat,
10Quam non obscuris iungis, Avite, viris:
'Ille ego sum nulli nugarum laude secundus,
Quem non miraris, sed puto, lector, amas.
Maiores maiora sonent: mihi parva locuto
Sufficit in vestras saepe redire manus.'
