Girolamo Borgia's epigram to Raphael.

Ad Raphaelem Urbinatem pictorem nobilissimum.
Pictorem Raphael inter celebremque poetam
Regnavit socio foedere semper amor.
In tabulis hic ora refert viventia vatis:
Vivere pictorem versibus ille facit.
Quin pictura vigens socia vice muta poesis,
At pictura, loquens ipsa poesis erit.
Tu domine vultus age cum sis alter Apelles
Eripe mortali conditione meae:
Ipse ego maeonio cantu tua nomina morsu
Eripiam et tacita temporis Invidia.
Hoc opifex rerum statuit quo tempore primo
Ipse homini effigiem jussit habere suam.
