41	Si meis Caesar faveat Camenis	wenn der Kaiser meinen Musen gewogen
42	Sitque Fuxmaggus mihi Tuscus ales,	und Fuchsmagen mir ein etruskischer Wahrsagevogel ist,	Tuscus ales the Etruscans were known for their art of divination: augurs interpreted the will of the gods by studying, among other things, the flight of birds. Probably the poet alludes to the fact that Maecenas was a Tuscan family name and asks Fuchsmagen to be his Maecenas, i.e. his patron.
43	Quique nunc Breucos domat et superbum	und jener, der derzeit die Breuker bändigt und die sich ihrer Kampfeskraft	Quique nunc Breucos domat et superbum...Marte Bohemum the Breuci were an ancient Pannonian population, so the expression refers to modern Hungary. The name of the deity Mars is used as synonym for "war". The Bohemians are a population living in the westernmost and largest historical region of the Czech lands. The verses allude to Maximilian and his recent wars against Hungary and Bohemia. In a war that lasted since 1482, the Hungarians under king Matthias Corvinus had conquered large parts of the Habsburg Empire, including Vienna. After the death of Corvinus in 1490 Maximilian succeeded in several military campaigns to recapture the occupied Austrian territories from the Hungarians. Furthermore, Vladislaus II (1456 - 1516), king of Bohemia, had himself elected as Corvinus' successor as king of Hungary, thus violating the treaties of Sopron (1463) which provided that the throne would return to the Habsburgs after Corvinus' death. Due to Vladislaus's behaviour, Maximilian I invaded Hungary in the summer of 1490 and temporarily conquered some territories. The conflict ended in 1491 with the peace treaty of Bratislava, which on the one hand confirmed the election of Vladislaus II as king of Hungary, on the other hand established the Habsburgs' right of succession should Vladislaus not leave any male heirs.

The Morini were a Belgic coastal tribe.
