Madrigal by Philip Hainhofer,
Citizen of Augusta.

August scion, thou shalt not

be hidden in obscurity,

thou, who, praised among the geniuses more fare,

shalt be equal to Time,

wherever the sun releases his golden locks;

how shall he be hidden,

how shall he be deprived of name,

who tries to discover to others

how art can never conceal speech. 

in its secrets disclosed,

Art will discover to you a secret through and through.

Another, by the Same.

This Luna, which rises in the lap,
as it were, of the Bears,
spreads its light to lands more remote. 
It shines and never sets,
                and in the Pleiades scatters
                its rays more brightly than where
                Cinthia is more accustomed to shine
                afar alone than in union with the Sun.
