“Dum Magistri super pectus Fontem haurit intellectûs    Et doctrinæ flumina, Fiunt, ipso situ loci, Verbo fides, auris voci,    Mens Deo contermina. {{pb}} Unde mentis per excessus, Carnis, sensûs super gressus    Errorumque nubila, Contra veri solis lumen Visum cordis et acumen    Figit velut aquila.”

“Verbi vere substantivi, Caro cum sit in declivi    Temporis angustiâ, In æternis verbum annis Permanere, nos Johannis    Docet theologia.”
