P. DELIUS VOLSCUS AN DEN GROẞARTIGEN HERRN JOHANNES FUCHSMAGEN, DEN EHRWÜRDIGSTEN RAT DER HEILIGEN KAISERLICHEN MAJESTÄT
MAGNIFICO DOMINO IOANNI FUSMAGEN SACRAE CAESAREAE MAIESTATIS CONSILIARIO DIGNISSIMO P. DELIUS VOLSCUS
Beschreibung
The author thanks Fuchsmagen for an obtained gift, assures him of his friendship and wishes him a long and successful life.
The same poem, except for a few but important changes, is also to be found in a manuscript written in Perugia around 1490 (Perugia, Biblioteca Comunale Augusta, MS C 61, fol. 71v (herafter P)). The manuscript contains an anthology of contemporary poems for Alfano (Severo) Alfani, member of an influencial local family. In this collection there are three poems ascribed to Volscus, including a funerary epigram which can also be found in other manuscripts, an otherwise unattested ode to Innocent VIII, and the poem in question. However, in the Perugia manuscript (a partial copy of which, written shortly after, is now preserved in the Bodleian Library, MS C62), this last poem is dedicated to Alfano Alfani, the addressee of the whole compilation, and not to Johannes Fuchsmagen, and the author's name, instead of being Antonius Volscus or P. Delius Volscus is Delius Volscus Privernas.

| 1 | Quod decet ingenium, nobis, Fusmage, dedisti | Du hast mir, Fuchsmagen, ein Geschenk gemacht, das zu meiner Begabung | |
| 2 | Munus, et externis quod solet esse quies. | passt, und das für die Auswärtigen für gewöhnlich Ruhe bedeutet (?). | externis quod solet esse quies
the meaning of this expression is obscure, the word externis is perhaps corrupt.
|
| 3 | Nullus in ignotum modus est tibi nempe relictus, | Denn keine Dichtungsgattung blieb dir unbekannt, | in ignotum
in ignoto would be grammatically more appropriate. Also this passage may be corrupt.
|
| 4 | Quem noster Phoebus quemque Minerva colat. | die mein Phoebus und meine Minerva pflegen. | Phoebus...Minerva
both deities are cited in their role as patrons of poetry.
|
| 5 | Officio linguae, mentis bonitate subisti | Durch die Gefälligkeit deiner Worte und die Güte deines Gemüts bist du in den Genuss des | |
| 6 | Perpetuum verae munus amicitiae. | unerschütterlichen Geschenks wahrer Freundschaft gekommen. | |
| 7 | Hic igitur, qui summa tenet fastigia caeli, | Deshalb also soll dir der, der auf der höchsten Spitze des Himmels thront, | |
| 8 | Det tibi felices Nestoreosque dies, | glückliche Tage schenken, die so zahlreich sind wie jene des Nestor, | Nestoreosque dies
usual reference to the Pylian king Nestor, who is said to have lived for three generations, as a paradigm of long life.
|
| 9 | Det tibi Caesareum sapienti numen amicum, | und soll dir, der du so weise bist, die kaiserliche Hoheit zum Freund machen, | |
| 10 | Semper cui fidis consulis auxiliis. | welcher du stets mit Hilfe und Rat treu zur Seite stehst. |
