14. nihil est virtute formosior

Corporeis cernat virtutem siquis ocellis,

      Virtutem incipiet preter amare nihil.

Tantus enim splendor formoso fulgurat ore,

      Vt mutas etiam cogat amare feras.

5

Ast animus noster, terrestri carcere septus,

      Terrestres sequitur, quis crucietur, opes.
