Gratulationes d. Martino Aichmanno Schorndorffensi, viro virtute, & doctrina praestantissimo, cum utriusque iuris doctor in Tubingensi schola anno 1577. XI. die Februarii, publice crearetur

Knowledge of Laws, most famous in the use of things,
Powerful in judgment, and in grave counsel.
Otherwise a happy man, blessed with numerous offspring,
Who is seen to be an emulator of a great father.
Doctor Nikolaus gives Laws: Anton manages the House:
And the rest of the crowd does their duty.
The greatest praise of the man is, and known to many lands,
Known to Caesars, known to Princes.
As the virtue of our Aichmann was known to him,
His life, faith, fertile study, the honor of his mind:
Impelled by these he loves the youth: and to him he gives Felicitas:
This daughter was of much modesty.
A maiden beautiful in limbs: and beautiful in members: beautiful
Gestures: and a maiden beautiful in her mind.
You are happy in name, maiden: now you are a happy woman
In affairs: you are happy indeed in your spouse.
Every person celebrates you also as happy, Martin Aichmann:
Woman and man applaud you:
You are too happy: through much virtue Sebastian
His father is famous in Schorndorf with much honor.
You are happy in your Father-in-law: with divine praise in Tübingen
He flourishes: and raises his name to the stars.
You are happy in your spouse, you are happy in your male offspring.
In what part you might be unhappy, is not clear to me,
Now who would not proclaim you happier, Aichmann:
While the new honor of Doctor adorns you:
This is that day, to be marked with a white stone A Roman custom of marking lucky days with white pebbles
Often sought by you, often sought by your people.
The famous Father is present: the renowned Father-in-law: and fierce Aichmann:
The Uncle: the In-laws: a large cohort of relatives
