JACOBUS VOORN Lecturis valere & gaudere.

Postquam mihi curandae ANATOMIAE publicae demandata fuit provincia, illud sedulo operam dedi, ut mea cura tam ad cives nostros, quam ho­spites quibus fama Leydensis innotuit Anato­miae, redundaret utilitas. Variis haec & luculentis Clarissi­morum virorum instructa donariis, quaeque temporis invi­dia, & Longa Oblivione obruta jacebant: in sinu servat re­clusa. Quicquid videt cum maxime oriens & Occidens, omne missa in compendium via ostentar, & ne confusa CHAOS intentionis aciem vestrae abrum peret, ita in hoc Catalogo descripsi, & disposui omnia, ut nullo opere quae­rentibus occurrant Spectanda.

VALE LECTOR, & fruete.

Mitte probro Civi suspendia vertere nostro,
Omne malum finis pulcra coronat opus
Caesareum sit stando mori, generosior ille
Caesare; qui sua post funera stare potest.

IN THEATRUM ANATOMICUM, L. ƲGD. BATAV.

Advena, qui Batavas spectatum veneris oras;
Huc age, quae stupeas inclytà Leyda dabit;
Huc Ubi Legiferam Cererem comitatur Ofiris,
Isidos Argolicae suspice signa deae:
Frustra Deum fragilis Fortunae idola profana,
Urnam quae cineres relligiosa notet;
Lampada, ad humanos quae non pervenerit usus,
Cui magis in cultu, cui magis apta Deûm!
Vixerit, aeternae tantum se pasta lucernae
Flammula, an invisae Larva sit illa rei?
Qua Lacerarit acu, qualem cui Fibula vestem
Vinxerit, unde sagum strinxerit, unde togam:
Divitis Egypti pretiosa cadavera, lata
Finibus Eois, invidiosa Diis:
Singula nosse juvet, tamen his, & inania rerum,
Et maris, & terrae viscera posthabeas;
Erudit incautum te vox facunda CRAMERI,
Et claram ambiguo praestat ubique facem:
Sic saecli penetrare Sinùs, & Viscera veri,
Sic poteris Româ prodigiore frui.
