D. M. Raphaelis Vrbinatis Dum multis vitam pictura traderet umber Mors ait, heu mortis nil modo jura valent. Dixit et immani transegit pectora telo. O quantum vitae substulit una dies. [a margine: Hoc tumulo Vrbinas] D. M. Raphaelis Vrbinatis Infoelix patria et nimium crudelibus iris Pressa Deum, et semper Roma renata neci, Non sat cladis erat Gothorum arsisse tumultu, Et toties ferrum perque tulisse faces? Reddebat te ipsam tibi, tot regionibus umber, Dimensis, portis, moenibus atque viis. Tempia, theatra, arcus, thermae, amphitheatra manebant, Et tua si magni quid positura tulit. Haec cum illo interiere. Cadis, miserandaque rursus In cinerem, in nihilum patria rursus abis. Omnia qui secum traxit quo carmine dignus? Vmber in hoc tumulo, Romaque iuncta, iacet.
