Myriadas ter mille homini dat terram colendas.
Vult sibi vicenas millesima myrias addi,
Vicenis quinas, Asiam" metata celebrem.
Se quinquagenis octingentesima jungit
Myrias, ut menti pateat tota Africa docta.
Myriadas septem decies Europap ducentis
Et quadragenis quoque ter tria millia jungit.
Myriadas denas dat, quinque et millia, sexque
Centurias, et tres decadas Europa Britannis.9
Ter tria myriadi conjungit millia quarta,
Centuriæ quartæ decades quinquer Anglia nectit
Millia myriadi septem fœcunda secundæ
Et quadragenis decadas quinque addit Ierne.
Quingentis qaudragenis socialis adauget
Millia Belgat novem.

Ter sex centurias Hollandiat jactat opima.
Undecimum Cambert vult septem millibus addi.
