Boecius de Consolatione Philosophiae.
Carmina qui quondam studio florenti peregi Flebilis heu moestos coger inire modos.
Post haec paulisper obticuit, atque ubi attentionem meam modesta taciturnitate collegit, sic exhor∣sa est. Si poeuitus egritudinis tuae causas, habi∣tumque, &c.
Jam cantum illa finierat, cum me audiendi avi∣dum, stupentemque arrectis adhuc auribus car∣minis dulcedo defixerat. Itaque paulo post, O inquam summum lassorum solamen animo∣rum, quantum me, &c.
Haec cum Philosophia dignitate vultus, & oris gravitate servata, leviter suaviterque cecinis∣set, Tum ego nondum penitus insiti maero∣ris oblitus, &c.
