Ad diadema tuum, te spe quàm diuite mittat,

Quae duo laetitiae des tibi dona, vide.

Munus habes primum, linguas bona multa precantes,

Quae te quum laudant, tum pia vota so [...]ant,

Foelicémque diem hunc dicunt, tibi sacula longa

Optant, & quicquid deni longa potest.

Altera dona feres, vera, & tui amantia corda,

Quorum gens ludum iam reget vna tuum.

In quibus est infracta fides, falsum perosa,

Quae tuo audito nomine laeta salit.

Grata venis igitur, quantum cor concipit vllum,

Quantum lingua potest dicere, grata venis.

Cordibus infractis, linguis per omnia laetis

Grata venis: saluam te velit esse Deus.
