Bombÿcem Pietas, vestemque exosa fluentem, Quae pudor abscondi praecipit, illa tegit. Mundique illecebras spernens, & inania rerum, Ad bona se confert non peritura Deum. Quae caelo praecepta decem tulit aurea Moses, Perlegit, & quidquid pagina sacra refert. Omnia cum quondam mundo pereunte peribunt, Perstabit Pietas, nescia sola mori. A Bloemaert invent. W Swanenburg sculp. et ecx. M.D.C.X. R. de Baud. exc.
