DE RAPHAELE VRBINATE. Huc oculos (non longa mora est) huc verte, meretur Te, quanvis properes, sistere qui iacet hic. Cuius picta manu te plurima forsan imago Iocunda valuit sistere saepe mora. Hoc Vrbine tuum decus, hoc tua Roma voluptas, Hoc Pictura tuus marmore splendor inest. Marmor habet iuvenem exanimum, qui marmora, quique Illita parietibus vivere signa facit, Os oculosque movere, pedes proferre, manusque Tendere. Tantum non posse deditque loqui, Quod dum qui faciat meditatur, opusque perenne Reddat, monstra Deae talia morte vetant. Hospes abi monitus mediocria quaerere, quando Stare diu summis invida fata negant.
