It contains his poem, a longish one in Hexameters, on the victory of the Venetians over the Turks; also verses to the Grand-Duke of Tuscany; also obituary elegiacs to Diodati of Geneva, and several pieces to or on Salmasius.
One piece, in elegiacs, is addressed "_Ad Franciscum Turretinum, rarae indolis ac summae spei juvenem_." This Francis Turretin (so addressed, I suppose, long ago, when he and Morus were in Geneva together) was, if I mistake not, the famous Turretin of Milton's letter about Morus to Ezekiel Spanheim (ante pp.

173-176).

Among the other pieces are one to Holstenius and one to Carlo Dati.

In the first Morus, speaking of his introduction to Holstenius and to the Vatican library together, says he does not know which seemed to him the greater library.

The poem to Dati is of considerable length, in Hexameters, and entitled "_AEgri Somnium: ad praestantem virum Carolum Dati_" ("An Invalid's Dream: To the excellent Carlo Dati").
