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.
