HISTORIA RERUM IN PARTIBUS TRANSMARINIS GESTARUM24 sections
Xylander1 work
Zonaras1 work
En tibi norma poli, & divae libramina molis,
Computus en Jovis; & quae, dum primordia rerum
Pangeret, omniparens leges violare creator
Noluit, atque operum quae fundamenta loc’rit.
Intima panduntur victi penetralia caeli,
Nec latet extremos quae vis circumrotat orbes.
Sol solio residens ad se jubet omnia prono
Tendere descensu, nec recto tramite currus
Sidereos patitur vastum per inane moveri;
Sed rapit inmotis, se centro, singula gyris.
Behold for you the norm of the pole, and the balances of the divine mass,
Behold Jove’s computation; and that which, when he was engraving the first principles of things,
the all‑sustaining creator would not wish to violate the laws, and fixed the foundations of his works.
The innermost sanctuaries of heaven are laid open, defeated, revealed,
Nor is hidden the force that turns the outermost revolving orbs.
The Sun, seated on his throne, bids all things to tend toward him by prone descent,
and does not suffer the starry chariots to be moved through the vast void on a straight path;
but, making himself the unmoving centre, he sweeps each thing up in revolving circuits.
Jam non miramur barbati phaenomena astri.
Discimus hinc tandem qua causa argentea Phoebe
Passibus haud aequis graditur; cur subdita nulli
Hactenus astronomo numerorum fraena recuset:
Cur remeant nodi, curque auges progrediuntur.
Discimus & quantis refluum dum fluctibus ulvam
Deserit, ac nautis suspectas nudat arenas;
Alternis vicibus suprema ad littora pulsans.
Now is made clear what that dread path bent is of comets;
now we no longer marvel at the bearded phenomena of the star.
From here at last we learn for what cause silver Phoebe
walks with steps not equal; why the rein of numbers
laid beneath refuses to any astronomer hitherto;
why the nodes return, and why the crescents advance.
We learn also with what tides, while the waves forsake the sea‑weed,
it bares to sailors the treacherous sands;
in alternate turns striking the utmost shores.
Quaeque scholas frustra rauco certamine vexant,
Obvia conspicimus, nubem pellente mathesi.
Jam dubios nulla caligine praegravat error,
Queis superum penetrare domos atque ardua caeli
Scandere sublimis genii concessit acumen.
Surgite mortales, terrenas mittite curas;
Atque hinc caeligenae vires dignoscite mentis,
A pecudum vita longe lateque remotae.
Those things which so often twisted the minds of the ancient sophists,
and which vex schools in vain with raucous contention,
we behold meeting us, mathesis driving away the cloud.
Now no error overburdens the doubtful with dark mist,
to which the acumen of sublime genius has been granted to penetrate
the dwelling-places of the gods and to climb the heights of heaven.
Rise, mortals, cast off earthly cares;
and hence discern the heaven-born powers of the mind,
far and wide removed from the life of beasts.
Furta & adulteria, & perjurae crimina fraudis;
Quive vagis populis circundare moenibus urbes
Auctor erat; Cererisve beavit munere gentes;
Vel qui curarum lenimen pressit ab uva;
Vel qui Niliaca monstravit arundine pictos
Consociare sonos, oculisque exponere voces;
Humanum sortem minus extulit: utpote pauca
Respiciens miserae tantum solamina vitae.
Jam vero superis convivae admittimur, alti
Jura poli tractare licet, jamque abdita caecae
Claustra patent terras, rerumque immobilis ordo,
Et quae praeteriti latuerunt secula mundi.
Talia monstrantem mecum celebrate camenis,
Vos ô caelicolum gaudentes nectare vesci,
NEWTONUM clausi reserantem scrinia veri,
NEWTONUM Musis charum, cui pectore puro
Phoebus adest, totoque incessit numine mentem;
Nec fas est proprius mortali attingere divos.
He who commanded in written tablets that bloodshed, thefts, adulteries, and the crimes of perjured treachery be restrained;
Or who was author to gird cities with walls about wandering peoples;
Or who blessed the nations with Ceres’ gift;
Or who pressed from the grape a salve for cares;
Or who with a Nile reed taught how to join pictured sounds
And expose voices to the eyes;
He raised the human lot the less: looking to the few comforts only of a wretched life.
Now indeed we are admitted as guests of the gods on high,
It is permitted to handle the laws of the sky, and now the hidden
Barriers of blind earth lie open, and the immovable order of things,
And the ages of the world that formerly lay hidden.
Singing such things with me, celebrate, O Muses,
You, O dwellers of the heavens, who delight to feed on nectar,
NEWTONUM, unsealing the closed chests of truth,
NEWTONUM, dear to the Muses, to whom Phoebus is present with a pure breast
And the divine power pervaded his whole mind;
Nor is it permitted that a mortal more nearly touch the gods.
