Epithalamion protreptikon

You are pleasing: and you are a wise man covered in silent art.
The later times will teach us what you are worth:
For a keen genius is present in the writings which you do.
Genius in talent: then you compose learned poems,
So that you are able to have the title among the poets.
But why do you bear the name of Taurellus Little Bull, not Taurus Bull?
Since this sounds grand: let that one go softly:
Does a prophetic soothsayer foretell the causes for you?
I divine: I ask that you be willing to have granted pardon.
If you were strong with the Cyclopean bulk of your limbs:
Then you could have the wild name of Taurus.
But since you are small in body: and tender in your limbs:
You have the name of Taurellus better, on account of the omen.
There is an omen in small things: the Cow does not pursue
The fleeting hare, although it is a beast of the greatest bulk.
Cicero was small: and Philippus Melanthon was small:
The former through Ausonian Italian lands: the latter through Teutonic regions:
But what is nobler than Cicero? Greater than Melanchthon?
From whom the vein of eternal strength flows.
We boys and old men mostly learn these, nor is any
Of us weary to have had these as leaders: and to follow.
Thus the spider works learnedly with tiny feet:
Thus the small bee is skilled in great arts.
I supersede many things: Taurellus, tender with the newlyweds,
Now take joyful delights with the spouses.
Does new wine please? it will be present: nourishing autumn has brought it:
Do you perhaps eat fat blackbirds willingly?
You will receive them: this time gives birds with great interest:

than what must be omitted in any material. The later day is the disciple of the former.

Isomon of Taurellus explained with a preface of pardon: and with a deprecation of fault. It is brought forward for the sake of delighting and creating attention.

God himself, using small: indeed the smallest, instruments, performs great: indeed the greatest accomplishments: hundreds could be brought from sacred texts. But brevity had to be studied: I bring forward some from everyday experience. Cicero and Melanchthon are two flowing fountains of scholars: and as it were, constant silent teachers. Pleasant and duplicated paranomasia: and an added trigeminal acrostic: with an apodosis of the singular parts.
