C—[arol]us effulget, spiratque coloribus arte
Eximiâ, et celebrem Pictura fatetur Apellem.
Qualis Heros! quantus Blando Decor enitet ore!
Et vigor exurgens, et vividus ignis ocellis
Fulgurat, egregioque sedet constantia vultu.
O virtus invicta malis! O inclyte Pr——[ince]ps!
Consilioque gravi, savoque in marte potentem,
Te canreret Musa, et Phoebi te carmine dignum;
Conscia sed metuit, cœptis ingentibus impar.
