De sacrarum stationum veteri instituto a Xisto Quinto pont. max. revocato oratio habita in templo S. Sabinae in die Cinerum

but because there is no argument of benevolence or respect that should not be shown to you, who are the most illustrious glory and ornament of the court, of the city, and of our age. Indeed, I will not be lengthy in the commendation of your praises, both because even if I were more abundant, I would appear to have touched upon not even the smallest part of them, and so that serious men might understand that I am not unaware of how unfitting it is to praise someone to their face. With the same intention, I have used this very oration, when, among the countless praises that could rightly be attributed to Sixtus V—worthy of all memory—I barely touched upon those that were so relevant to the institution of the stations that they could in no way be passed over. As for the rest, regarding the praises of you both—I mean the Supreme Pontiff and yourself—while men of more fortunate talent will commend them to posterity in such a way that no oblivion will ever erase them, I, as far as I am able, shall humbly and earnestly beseech God, the Best and Greatest, that He may preserve you for a long time and most happily for the holy Church and for all of us, as a nephew worthy of such a great uncle and surpassing your age by far. Farewell.
