Liber Primus
Cap. 1 De potencia laboris et
ingenii et de impotencia desidie
Velificatur Athos, dubio mare ponte ligatur,
Remus arat colles, pedibus substernitur unda,
Puppe meatur humus, pelagi Thetis exuit usum,
Salmoneus fulmen iaculatur, Dedalus alas
5  Induit: ingenii furor instat et invia preceps
Rumpit et artifici cedit natura labori.
Languida Segnicies Veneris nutricia tractat
Ocia, dilatrix operum, dissuada laborum,
Venativa more, vix inceptura, quod ipso
10  Principio rumpit, hodiernos crastinat actus
Et, quod preteritum, numquam facit, usque futurat,
Ausus attenuat, animos premit, illigat artus
Contemptusque luto defedat aromate morum
Pectus odorandum, fame secura, pudende
15  Assuescit vite, viciique paludibus herens
Sorde volutatur, oculoque improvida ceco
Mentis ab excubiis expellit inhospita curas
Sollicitosque metus, currentibus urget habenam
Ingeniis, fixoque modo conamina sistit, --
20  Torporisque iacet studii vigilancia sompno. . . .
