| OMNE quod Natura parens creauit, | |
| quamlibet firmum uideas, labascit: | |
| tempore ac longo fragile et caducum | |
| soluitur usu. | |
| amnis insueta solet ire ualle. | 5 |
| mutat et rectos uia certa cursus, | |
| rupta cum cedit male pertinaci | |
| ripa fluento. | |
| decidens scabrum cauat unda tofum, | |
| ferreus uomis tenuatur agris, | 10 |
| splendet adtrito digitos honorans | |
| anulus auro. | |
