Tempus edax rerum, tuque invidiosa vetustas,
omnia destruitis, vitiataque aevi
paulatim lenta consumitis omnia morte.
Ergo ubi iam aevi virtutibus usus
non habeo corpus, et aetas me destituitque,
tamen in ore manet; memores mihi fama, mei famaeque manebit,
dum loquor atque aliis memoranda loquendaque tradam.
