Epithapium Raphaelis Vrbinatis Cum tot diruta Roma iam per annos Per te surgeret, altiusque ferret Urbinas caput, insulasque nobis Circos cernere, porticus, theatra, Omnem denique iam liceret Vrbem Eversam gotico furore pridem, Cum tot vivere signa, tot tabellas Et spirare tua manu figuras, Aequa Zeusidis atque Apellis arte, Invidit Libitina, quae putavit Demens perdere posse, cui nocere Turba non potis ulla secuolorum.
