Mark the day white, on which the Fates have smiled: br Eugenio and Egeria have a child. br On whom abundant grace kind Jove imparts br If she but copy either parent's parts. br Then, Muses! long devoted to her race, br Grant her Egeria's virtues and her face; br Nor stop your bounty there, but add to it br Eugenio's learning and Eugenio's wit.
