Epithalamion protreptikon

Now it is fitting that you conduct yourselves as brothers.
And you do so: yet it has never hurt to have advised:
As the mind of Vile Apollo showed before.
Therefore, act as the more eloquent Isaac: and allow these just
Joys also to your offspring.

The younger Cellarius.

He who cultivates the Aonian Sisters with faithful sweat:
Whom he rejoices to visit in diverse places.
Whom he loves: and as I think, is much loved back by them:
From whom the greatest hope for us was born.

Gnome: An allusion to the proverb, "youth does not come before years," and Eccles. 3: To everything there is a season. It is hinted at the same time: what age is suitable for performing duties.

For he paints his tender cheeks with yellow down:
And the new beard comes forth with useful hairs,
The fertile hour arrives: which will serve, apt for uses:
And will return profit for the heavier expense.
Allow him something, father: allow the girl:
Whom the good fates have given you, most beautiful.
Who scatters fascinations with her starry eyes, the new hope of youths:
And who will quickly give joyful delights.
Who will deservedly sit next to the Bride on the shining
Table: may she be the next bride, I pray.
For she is mature for a man: already the nubile age
Approaches: the girl is worthy of a learned husband.

Eulogy of Mr. Huldrich Coccius: Primary Antistes at St. Peter’s, Doctor of Sacred Theology, kinsman of the Bride, etc.

The third order, I think, requires you, great COCCIUS:
Be present here: and carry yourself through in my sequence.
I will not be a disgrace to you with my verses: perhaps I write
Too boldly: and do not sing merely what is commanded.
Grant pardon: I desire to have harmed no man:
But I have decided to celebrate the glory of VIRTUE.
