Praefixum est ab alia manu Carmen in studium Naometricum opus Studionis summopere commendans: En! Studionaei succinctum lemma laboris Unde Dei mire mystica sacra patent. Aspice livor iners & contabesce videndo Mirari pot eris, non reprobare potes. Non est humani inventum subtile cerebri, Ast agit ante Deo tale movetur opus. Est opus hoc sacrum, quod multis taedia mentis Lassatae tollit, fessaque membra levat. Additum est aliud ab ipso, ut videtur, Studione. Sum Nova Stella Die priscis contata Prophstis Saepe: malis omen triste, bonisque salus Luce mea soli, Lunae, stellisque tenebras Inducam, quae nunc in Babylone micant. Ad Part. II. (?) Here is a translation of the short poem dedicated to Studion: Lo! Brief epigram on Studion is made That Gods sacred, mystical works whole beauty be displayed. Regard this lifeless envy, and in its sight dissolve. In surprise you may be, but must not in judgement prove. The minds complexity, this is of no human make: Contrariwise, to God tis drivn, so movd for His sake. To cure ennui of tired mind, a work of holiness Is that which from thexhausted frame wrings all its weariness. Another, Studion it seems, be added to the fold. Slow-paced by day, the new star am I, of prophets old. Ill for evil, well for good: my solar light And lunar, will obscure dark Babylons might!
