And Count Baldassarre Castiglione wrote of his death in the following manner:

Quod lacerum corpus medica sanaverit arte,

Hyppolitum Stygiis et revocarit aquis,

Ad Stygias ipse est raptus Epidaurius undas;

Sic precium vitæ mors fuit artifici.

Tu quoque dum toto laniatam corpore Romam

Componis miro, Raphael, ingenio,

Atque urbis lacerum ferro, igni, annisque cadaver,

Ad vitam antiquum jam revocasque decus,

Movisti superum invidiam, indignataque mors est

Te dudum extinctis reddere posse animam,

Et quod longa dies paulatim aboleverat, hoc te

Mortali spreta lege parare iterum.

Sic, miser, heu, prima cadis intercepte juventa,

Deberi et morti nostraque nosque mones.
