Iam tandem tibi, terra, Vale! mihi dicere mens est,
Pertaesus vitae tempora dura meae.
Hactenus hic vixi, per multa volumina rerum
Versatus, requies nec fuit ulla mihi,
5
Anxietas, aerumna, dolor me saepe rotarunt
Et mihi saepe dies nox et amara fuit.
Et niveis parvum, sed ab atris linquo lapillis
Non parvum cumulum, quem tibi signa dabunt.
Canities longe ante diem mea tempora texit,
10
Quam nimius labor et sollicitudo dedit.
Hanc non ambitio fecit, non ardor habendi,
Credita sed fidei res aliena meae.

Et tot Germanos Italy (Italia)⌊ItaliaeItaly (Italia)⌋que duces,
55
Saepe mihi fuerat per aperta pericula eundum
Et clam dispositas saepe per insidias,
Per montes, valles, per plana, per invia saxa,
Per rapidos fluvios, per vada, stagna, lacus,
Non solum pacis, sed diri tempore belli,
60
Per cuneos equitum, per peditumque globos,
Seu pestis, sive aestus erat, seu frigora, venti,
Non intermisi pergere libere iter.
Quid memoro recolens incommoda multa viarum
Per pluvios aut per sole liquante nives.
65
Tot vel ab hospitibus per diversoria fraudes
Plus avidi, quam sunt, cum fremuere, lupi?
Non sat erant umquam data magna viatica nostra
Atque effluxit et hoc, quod mihi fenus erat.
Nuntius afuerat, puto, nemo diutius umquam,
70
Scilicet a patria tam regione procul.
Et quod non fuerim fortassis inutilis, ipsa
— Invidia hic absit! — res bene gesta docet.
Inscius atque absens post factus episcopus aulam
Deserui rediens spesque quietis erat.
75
Meque Deo totum dedidi sacrisque dicavi
Commutans vitae, quod fuit ante, genus.
Et statui iustam nulli certaminis ansam
Praebere et pacis commoditate frui.
Hoc studium mihi semper erat prodesse, nocere
80
Nulli, dissidii prorsus habere nihil.
Quod nec fama negat, vestigia nostra secuta,
Nec, qui me noscunt, secius esse sciunt.
Principibus magnisque viris, doctisque, probisque
Convixi fugiens, quos mala vita tenet.
85
Hinc et amicitias nactus, socios et amicos.
Qui me tot scriptis visere saepe solent.
Inter quos procul est magnus Cortesius ille,
Qui mundi repperit regna tot ampla novi.
Ultra aequatorem Capricorni sidus adusque
90
Imperat estque mei tam procul ille memor.
Non me fastidire solent regesque, ducesque,
Doctorum pariter magna caterva virum.
Praeterea quibus et numquam sum visus, amorem
Testantur missis tam mihi saepe schedis.
95
Huc veniens igitur mihi cuncta quieta putavi,
Tot curis finem rebar et ipse meis.
At secus evenit; meruerunt crimina nostra.
Crimina, quae summo sunt manifesta Deo.
Pro quibus hic, o terra, tuo castigor in orbe,
100
Post cineres gravior ne mea poena foret.
Ignis ter nocuit, segeti neque grando pepercit,
Atra lues pecori, nunc inimicus homo.
Me tamen insontem recti mens conscia fulcit,
Sustinet afflictum meque probata fides.
105
Laus tibi sit, Deus o fortis, sit gloria et omnis
Gratia! Sum meritus tot mala iure pati.
Hic nihil est tutum, firmum vereque beatum,
Vana caducaque sunt sidera, terra, fretum,
Stemma, genus, sexus, status, artes, forma, voluptas
110
Deliciaeque nihil, cum venit hora, iuvant.
Quid prodest tibi thesaurus collectus, avare,
Quem tibi cum lacrimis gens miseranda dedit?
Non iuvat hic feritas, vis nulla, potentia nulla;
Ibit ad infernas, pauper ut Irus, aquas.
115
Mors inopi levis est, sed avaris est gravis, uti
Quod nequeant partis sub Phlegethonte bonis.
Intramus nudi, nudi discedimus et quod
Pulvis erat, parvo tempore pulvis erit.
Nil sequitur, nisi quod bene vel male feceris, inde
120
Quivis pro meritis praemia digna feret.
Qui tutus vis hinc divesque migrare, paludis
Horrida vel Stygiae monstra timere nihil,
Fac bene, dum vivis, nulli sis causa doloris,
Cuique suum reddas, non aliena petas!
125
Quodque tibi fieri vis, hoc fac omnibus! Esto
Clemens in miseros supplicibusque fave!
Invideas nulli, famam nullius obumbra,
Non credas, loquitur cum mala lingua malum!
Quod summum est, praecepta Dei non neglege! In illis
130
Est aeterna salus et sine fine quies.
Haec qui non servat vestigia, tendit ad Orcum,
Quod sumus, heu, miseri, qui nihil hic facimus.
Felix, qui moritur sumpta baptismatis unda,
Inventus nondum criminis esse reus.
135
Nos annis quanto plus crescimus, impia crescunt
Delicta in nobis et genus omne mali.
Iustitiam nulli facimus; quod quisquis amore
Aut odio valet, hoc iure licere putat.
Vis domina imperium nostri sibi vindicat oris
140
Estque bonis vis haec hostis acerba viris.
Hinc pro veraci mendax placet, hinc solet esse
Pro virtute scelus, pro ratione furor.
“Sic volo, sic iubeo“ — percurrii pauperis agros
Atque per afflicti divitis ora ruit.
145
Immeritis titulos vendit, sacra vendit ineptis
Iudiciique nihil dexterioris habet.
Fit nemo quaestor, praetor, fit nemo senator,
Ni numeret; probitas exsulat, alget, eget.
Nullus avaritiae finis; per fasque, nefasque,
150
Si dederis, quo vis, flectitur illa datis.
Si quis adulatur, si quis delator iniquus
Falsa refert, credit, dummodo dona ferat.
Non meritum curat factumque nec utile quaerit
Servitium, per quod commoda multa tulit.
155
Praefertur scutum, sic quod defenderat olim,
Armaque pacifico tempore scabra iacent.
Iustitiae nusquam locus est; iniuria regnat,
Regnat et impietas perfidiaeque furor.
Dat poenas iustus, raro damnatur iniquus;
160
Mors datur insonti, vita necem merito.
Ius emitur — plus iuris habet, qui plus dedit — et lex
Flectitur, ut flecti cera liquata solet.
Omnia vertuntur; pietas oppressa sub ipsa
Per paucos homines impietate iacet.
165
Vera loqui pudor est, placet assentatio mendax;
Integritas vitium, dexteritas scelus est.
Qui simulare nequit, multis imponere, fraudes
Nectere, nunc talis nullius est pretii.
Ille valet, turpi qui novit vivere quaestu,
170
Omnibus et nummos accumulare modis,
Prodere, furari, furto et conquirere amicos,
Officia et dominos propitios, et opes.
Hi crescunt, magni fiunt et honoribus apti
Creduntur, fidei cum nihil intus habent.
175
Committunt tamen his nunc oppida, castra, tribunal;
Quae dum percipiunt, non sibi deesse solent.
His impune bonos rabida traducere lingua
Concessum est, fama cum meliore carent.
Quis feret haec virtutis amans et cultor honesti?
180
Cui talis nostro tempore vita placet?
Non moror hanc igitur, cum falsa calumnia victrix,
Sit virtus vitium, sit sine lege pudor.
Mens hominum perversa regit, vis cuncta gubernat.
Est ventura brevi vindicis ira Dei.
185
Dissolvi cupio, tibi, terraque, putre cadaver
Linquere; cum Christo, spiritus esse cupit.
Illius fiat, qua fiunt cuncta, voluntas!
In manibus sortes continet ille meas.
Post mortem scribi precor hoc epigramma sepulcro,
190
Quo me posteritas hicque fuisse sciat;
Hoc tibi, terra, Vale! dico non triste, vocatus
Ad vitam, cuius tempora fine carent.
