Alexandro illi, longe omnium excellentissimo regi, cui ex rebus actis et auctis cognomentum magno inditum est, ne vir unicam gloriam adeptus sine laude umquam nominaretur (nam solus a condito aevo, quantum hominum memoria exstat, inexsuperabili imperio orbis auctus fortuna sua maior fuit, successusque eius amplissimos et provocavit ut strenuus et aequiperavit ut meritus et superavit ut melior, solusque sine aemulo clarus, adeo ut nemo eius audeat virtutem vel sperare, fortunam vel optare), eius igitur Alexandri multa sublimia facinora et praeclara edita fatigaberis admirando vel belli ausa vel domi provisa, quae omnia adgressus est meus Clemens, eruditissimus et suavissimus poetarum, pulcherrimo carmine illustrare.
The famous Alexander, by far the greatest king that ever was, whose deeds and achievements earned him the title of Great, so that as a man who had achieved unexampled glory he could never be named without praise (for from the beginning of time, so far as human memory records, he alone, the possessor of an unparalleled empire, was greater than his own Fortune, and challenged her greatest successes by his energy, equaled them by his merit, and exceeded them by his superiority, and is the only man famous without peer, so that no one dares either to hope for his valor or pray for his Fortune)'well, one might tire himself out praising this Alexanders extraordinary deeds and famous achievements, whether ventured in war or planned in peace (and all of them my friend Clemens, the most learned and melodious of poets, has undertaken to glorify in a most beautiful poem).
