Ille deus est, non qui paucas boves, sed qui per
totum orbem armenta dimisit, qui gregibus ubique
passim vagantibus pabulum praestat, qui pascua
hibernis aestiva substituit, qui non calamo tantum
cantare et agreste atque inconditum carmen ad aliquam tamen observationem modulari docuit, sed tot artes, tot vocum varietates, tot sonos alios spiritu
nostro, alios externo cantus edituros commentus est.
