| FLVMINA uerna cient obscuro lumine Pisces | |
| curriculumque Aries aequat noctisque diique, | |
| cornua quem condunt florum praenuntia Tauri; | |
| aridaque aestatis Gemini primordia pandunt, | |
| longaque iam minuit praeclarus lumina Cancer, | 5 |
| languificosque Leo proflat ferus ore calores. | |
| post modium quatiens Virgo fugat orta uaporem: | |
| autumni reserat portas aequatque diurna | |
| tempora nocturnis dispenso sidere Libra: | |
| effetos ramos denudat flamma Nepai: | 10 |
| pigra Sagittipotens iaculatur frigora terris: | |
| bruma gelu glaciat iubarem spirans Capricorni, | |
| quem sequitur nebulas rorans liquor altus Aquari. | |
| tanta supra circaque uigescunt lumina mundi; | |
| at dextra laeuaque ciet rota fulgida Solis | 15 |
| mobile curriculum et Lunae simulacra feruntur. | |
