Sibylla Hellespontiaca

Dum meditor quondam, vidi decorare puellam
Eximio castam,quod se servaret honore
Munera digna suo et divino numine visa,
Quae sobolem multo pareret splendore micantem
Progenies summi speciosa et vera tonantis
Pacifica mundum, qui sub ditione gubernet.

by Anonymous/Unidentified Artist , from a medieval compilation of Jewish, Christian and pagan sources.
