Original text and translations

Latin text

1. Nostrum Parentem maximum
Canamus omnes, turbidas
Qui fluctuantis saeculi
Terris procellas expulit.

2. Puer quiescit: floreis
Apes labellis insident:
Mellis magistrae melleum
Signant ducem facundiae.

3. Parvam, futuri praescius,
Dextram coli vult osculis:
Vix dum solutus fasciis
Quaerit tiarae taenias.

4 Infans locutus, insubrum
Ambrosio fert ınfulam:
Hanc fugit: at semper fugam
Honos fefellit obvius.

5. Velat sacrata denique
Doctum tiara verticem:
Ceu tectus ora casside,
Bellurn minatur Ario.

6. Non sceptra concussus timet,
Non imperantem fœmiinam:
Temploque, clausis postibus,
Arcet cruentum Caesarem.

7. Sordes fluentis abluit
Aurelii cœlestibus:
Fide coequans martyres,
Invenit artus martyrum.

8. Jam nuric furentem tarlari
Lupum flagello submove:
Quern pastor olim rexeris,
Gregem tuere jugiter.

9. Deo Patri sit gloria
Ejusque soli Filio
Cum Spiritu Paraclito
Nunc et per omne saeculum. Amen.
