Huc omnes pariter uenite capti
Quos fallax ligat improbis catenis
Terrenus habitans libido mentes,
Haec erit-uobis requies laborum,
Hic portus placida manens quiete,
Hoc patens unum miseris asylum.
Non quidquid Tagus aureis harenis
Donat aut Hermus rutilante ripa
Aut Indus calido propinquus orbi
Candidis miscens uirides lapillos,
Inlustrent aciem magisque caecos
In suas condunt animos tenebras.
Hoc quidquid placet excitatque mentes,
Infimis tellus aluit cauernis;
Splendor quo legitur uigetque caelum,
Vitat obscuras animae ruinas.
