Hic iacet antistes templi clarissimus huius,
Gentis Tomiciae, Petrus, in orbe decus.
E vivis fractus lenta aegritudine cessit,
Illi quam regni sedula cura dedit,
Ardua tractabat qua saepe negotia, magnus
Consilio, triplici magnus et eloquio.
Iudicio quoque sublimi, prudentia et aequi
Cultura constat non habuisse parem.
Hunc aula et lugens Res publica sentit ademptum,
Cuius praesidio commoda multa tulit.
Omnibus hic post se virtutum exempla reliquit,
Per quas cum Christo vivit in arce poli.
