Original text and translations

Latin text

Tandem triumphans alter ut Hercules
qui mala victor detulit aurea ad patrios lares
dracone pervigili prius enecato,
tandem vel ipso maior Iasone vento secundo
quem sapientia summi patris mire gubernat,
laetus ades patriam revisens.

Ergo potentum Carole principum
de stirpe ducens caesareum genus,
dum fers beatam ad nos quietem
Oceani liquidas per undas,
tibi decora semideo parat
crines Apollo cingere laurea
sextumque sceptrum orbi regendo
nomine Caroleo auspicatum.
