  • Carmina qui quondam
  • Heu quam praecipiti
  • Tunc me discussa
  • Quisquis composito serenus aevo
  • O stelliferi conditor orbis
  • Cum Phoebi radiis grave
  • Nubibus atris condita nullum
  • Haec cum superba verterit vices dextra
  • Si quantas rapidis flatibus incitus
  • Cum polo Phoebus
  • Quisquis volet perennem
  • Felix nimium prior aetas
  • Novimus quantas dederit ruinas
  • Quicumque solam mente
  • Quod mundus stabili fide
  • Quantas rerum flectat habenas
  • Quamvis fluente dives auri gurgite
  • Quamvis se Tyrio
  • Qui se volet esse potentem
  • Omne hominum genus in terris
  • Habet hoc voluptas
  • Eheu quae miseros
  • O qui perpetua
  • Huc omnes pariter
  • Quisquis profunda mente
  • Felix qui potuit boni
  • Sunt et enim pennae
  • Quos vides sedere
  • Vela Neritii ducis
  • Quid tantos iuvat
  • Si quis Arcturi
  • Si vis celsi
  • Bella bis quinis
  • Rupis Achemeniae scopulis
  • Puro clarum lumine
  • Quaenam discors
