28. de urna in usum fontis versa

Tu, quicunque meo fontem de marmore sumis,

      Parce, precor, cineri (sum vetus urna) pio:

Vertit in hos usus gelidi rudis accola fontis,

      Nescius, ah, quantum susciperet sceleris.

At tu non meritos manes veneratus in urna,

      Hinc quoque tot rerum disce hominumque vices.
