Praestanti viro, dn. Andr. Ruinellae Ioannis f. Praegallo Rheto, philosophiae & medicinae doctori ad solennem actum XIII. Cal. Maii gratulantur amici

You desire to shine more by your own virtue,
You wish that light should reside in your own praise.
The illustrious Rhaetian people, distinguished by the title of Doctor,
Will receive you with their joyful council applause.
Now, therefore, proceed to give medicines through mixed juices,
And to bring cups with a health-bringing hand.
Drive away harmful plagues, and at the same time bring to the miserable and the sick
The aid which Hippocrates the father of medicine and Galen the renowned Roman physician taught.
But may the highest ruler of vast Olympus
Grant that these things follow for you as successful achievements.
May you live long, happy, and as a pillar and ornament of your country,
And may you be added as a firm column to the sacred flock.
