Sibylla Erythraea
Language: Latin
Cerno Dei natum, qui se dimisit ab alto. Ultima felices referent cum tempora soles. Hebraea, quem virgo fere [feret?] de stirpe decora, In terris multum teneris passurus ab annis. Magnus erit tamen hic divino carmine vates Virgine matre satus, prudenti pectore verax.
