772Quod superest, quoniam magni per caerula mundi
773qua fieri quicquid posset ratione resolvi,
774solis uti varios cursus lunaeque meatus
775noscere possemus quae vis et causa cieret,
776quove modo offecto lumine obire
777et neque opinantis tenebris obducere terras,
778cum quasi conivent et aperto lumine rursum
779omnia convisunt clara loca candida luce,
780nunc redeo ad mundi novitatem et mollia terrae
781arva, novo fetu quid primum in luminis oras
782tollere et incertis crerint committere ventis.
783Principio genus herbarum viridemque nitorem
784terra dedit circum collis camposque per omnis,
785florida fulserunt viridanti prata colore,
786arboribusque datumst variis exinde per auras
787crescendi magnum inmissis certamen habenis.
