Epithalamia in nuptiis ornatissimi humanissimique viri domini m. Ioannis Stridacheri, Tettnangensis, in alma Friburgi Brisgoici schola artium decurionis dignissimi, ethicesque professoris ibidem: et honestissimae, pudicissimaeque virginis Agathae Schnelliae, Tettnangensis

so that when he welcomes you coming with greedy arms
as the minister of the heaven and the Gods of the commands,
he may collect the hidden fire you blowing into him,
and be held by a great love for the excellent girl:
who of many is the most outstanding Nymph to me,
sought by a thousand suitors formerly, as Schæneis Atalanta once was,
