8. de regio aedifitio Thieneo

Pyramidum nitidis astris pendentia saxa

      Et Babilonis opus Mausoleique labor

Et Capitolini celsae Iovis atria molis

      Satque sacris Magni clara theatra modis

5

Aedibus his aequum est cedant; nam prisca senectus

      Huic par non ullo tempore vidit opus.

Astra petunt muri levi de marmore ducti;

      Cuncta decent: postes, aula, fenestra, locus.

Ille igitur foelix nimium cuicumque licebit

10

      Hic animi faustos ducere pace dies.
