Enumerat vasti luctantes aequoris aestus
Navita, per Syrtes aut saxa Ceraunia vectus,
Incolumis postquam rediit; sua proelia miles,
Aeratas acies et tot per vulnera mortes

Salvus post cladem prostrati disserit hostis;
Venator silvas, saltus et lustra ferarum,
Et pedicas structasque plagas, et retia cervis
Protensa enarrat. Longis peregrinus ab oris,

Hactenus ex Scythia, Moscorum clade peracta
Totque equitum peditumque globis castrisque relictis
Perventum. Solum fraterno ductus amore

Visendique etiam studio, si forte futurum est,
Caesaris, ut Christi fieret pax una per orbem.
Huc igitur Langus, tectus rubro ora galero,
Appulit, ingenio multum versatus et arte,
Resque gerit cunctas, a caesare missus ad istos

Legatus reges. Nostrae si verus amator
Religionis erit, siquidem est, non ambigo, verus,
Contra schismaticos templi dabit arma rebelles
Et contra hos, nostri sitiunt qui sanguinis undas,
Crudeles Turcas, nuper Sarnovia ad arva

105

Ingenti qui Christicolum sparsere cruorem
Clade, domi donec perplexa negotia aguntur.
Sin aliter, totum nunc parvo fomite mundum
Incendet. Tenet ipse sinu pacem armaque eodem.
Si quisquam, quem Martis amor, quem fervor habendi

110

Exagitaret, in his forsan decernere rebus
Deberet, res acta foret, iam proelia dudum
Per maria et terras insano turbine adessent.
Sed Pater omnipotens, mundi cui machina curae est,
Talia, scit, cuius studio committere debet,

115

Commisitque tibi, praeses venerande, tibi, inquam,
Qui fidei et decus es Romani dulce Quirini
Cardineique chori specimen. Tu bella profanis
Decertata odiis, iras dudumque repostas
Et clandestinas remove de pectore rixas

120

Primorum Christi procerum discordiaque uni
Pectora! Nil poteris superis, nil denique terris
Gratius efficere. En, coniurant monstra profundi,
Thrax ferus et Macedo, Maeotidis accola et Histri,
Naviculam in Petri, quae mergitur obruta paene

125

Undique fluctivagis per mille pericula in undis.
Eripe, namque potes, miseratus! Te duce tandem
Aeolus immodicos revocabit ab aequore flatus
Mitior et clausis fera flamina condet in antris.
Serpit ab extremis ut virus in intima membris

130

Vique levi penetrat sensim praecordia, donec
Occupat in toto, quodcumque est, corpore; flamma
Ut solet exardens in tectis tollere, quidquid
Contingit propius, passim grassata, parumper
Obvia consumit crescitque valentior ignis,

135

Liberius cum iam furit et bacchatur aperte,
Nil manet intactum, sic dudum Thracius hostis
Abstulit, at sparsim — pudet enumerare — tot agros,
Oppida, castra, urbes et regna tot incluta quondam.
Nititur ulterius. Miserandum, nemo resistit!

140

Huc Aquilas, Anguem, Gallum fulvumque Leonem
Hibernumque trucem diti cum rege Britanno,
Et qui se Solymae titulis zonaeque perustae
Extollunt, defer! Germana potentia vires
Hic, precor, ostendat! Non deerunt Sarmata et Hunnus,

145

Assidue ducunt multis qui proelia ab annis
Martia tot contra Mahometis castra tyranni.
At quoniam proprio contendunt Marte vicissim
Nunc aliqui, quos religio devinxit ad arma
Regis in osores, qui mortem morte fugabat,

150

Risus, sputa, alapas, flagra, clavos passus, in alta
Pro nobis furca extensus, quam nemo tuetur,
Salvifici labefacta cadit res publica Christi
Fitque minor sic et cunctas decrescit in horas.
Quid contra paucos, quorum furor urget Enyus

155

Discordes animos, credis nunc posse tot hostes,
Imperium quorum subiit tota Africa et ingens
Pars simul Europae, atque Asiam qui sub iuga dudum
Miserunt et qui toto dominantur in orbe?
Munitae nihil his celsis in montibus arces,

160

Nil urbesque obsunt; vites populantur et agros
Abducuntque homines. Nec enim munitio prodest,
Desertis postquam sulcis non semina dantur.
Vertite dira procul, superi! Nisi rebus in istis
Unio nunc fiat, Byzantia pestis et Histri

165

Euxinique lues Petri corrumpet ovile.
Hoc prohibere potes solus, pater alme, futurum.
Instantes exstingue faces, ne fortior ignis
Post contemnat aquas; primis his motibus obsta!
Hoc pietas, iurata fides, hoc suadet honestum;

170

Utile erit cunctis, qui Christi nomen adorant.
Ne te seducant, magni nec caesaris aures
Tot querulis deinceps precibus vel munere vincant
Hi, qui bella fremunt et numquam bella capessunt
Adversus fidei tot tela minantia nostrae!

175

Omnia vi quondam male dum concessa tenebant
Fastu sub tumido et sub cuncta licentia agebant
Immodica nullamque prius confinia pacem,
Ad quam devincti fuerant, habuere, sub armis
Gentiles subiere domus, vicinia late

Vastantes. Testis locus est, nunc Abiete nomen
Qui tenet, ingenti est quod nactus clade perenne.

Deliciisque frui, prout consuevere, vicissim

185

Illorum mentes, ut summo a praesule bellis
Decretis obsint contra Mahometica castra,
Votaque quod tantis faciant discordia coeptis
Inficiantque animos, ducantque in proelia mundum

190

Non castigarunt frustra delicta nocentum.
Sed feror in praeceps! Quo coepi, rursus eundum est!

195

Conventu multa ingenio qui multaque fido
Commoda consilio pro regni utriusque salute
Disquirit velletque libens succurrere rebus,
Ne sic infectis hinc reges forsan abirent.

Quot sparsim volvat Libycoque in litore arenas

Singula quam tantae valeam spectacula pompae
Dicere totque graves currus, rubrasque quadrigas,
Multaque, nulla prior quae viderat ante vetustas.
Nec solum tanti Martis procerumque tumultus;
Venerat huc etiam doctorum clara virorum

Contio. De quibus huc a caesare missus ad istos
Cuspinianus erat reges orator, abunde
Doctus et in variis versatus rebus agendis,
Philyrides certe vel nostro tempore Chiron
Et medica fertur praestans ut in arte Machaon:

230

Tam bene languori vario morbisque medetur.
Fotus et a teneris sollers Sperantius annis
Aula in caesarea, nudae virtutis amator,
Ingenio promptus, multum facundus in ore,
Seu leges vel iura patrum, vel carmina dicat.

235

Et Iovis interpres veri, qui grandia facta
Hunniaci scribit regni totque edidit olim,
Quod sua non potis est umquam evanescere fama.
Piso etiam, nostro vir in aevo doctus et acer,

Tractabat. Quodsi stricto pede sive soluto
Aggreditur quidquam, nil est exactius. Exin

Lenivitque meos pertaeso in corde dolores,

Omnia pulchra quidem sunt, omnia amoena sub isto
Tempore, per montes, per plana virecta, per amnes,
Per vernos prospectus agros it laetus, at ipsa

Ergo veni tandem, caesar Romane! Citatum
Adventum reges cupiunt tibi sanguine iuncti.
Non solum tecum contra hostes foedus inibunt
— Tu modo ne deses toties videare morando! —
Sed tecum conubia, sed laetos hymenaeos.

Ad ripas campo castrensia tecta in amico,
Vel quocumque loco placeat congressus, ad istos

Inque feros Turcas, qui nuper clade cruenta
Affecere tuos Hunnos. Non segniter ergo,
