 ... 

et recentibus virentes ducit umbras floribus.
cras erit quo primus Aether copulavit nuptias,
et pater totum creavit vernis annum nubibus :
in sinum maritus imber fluxit almae coniugis,
unde fetus mixtus omnes aleret magno corpore.
ipsa venas atque mentem permeanti spiritu
intus occultis gubernat procreatrix viribus ;
perque caelum perque terras perque pontum subditum
pervium sui tenorem seminale tramite
imbuit iussitque mundum nosse nascendi vias.
