    Incipit:Sequitur carmen unde magnificus rex noster Henricus prenotatus apud Deum et homines cum omni benediccione glorificetur.
    Rex celi, Deus et dominus, qui tempora solus

       in se principium rebus inesse dedit...
    Explicit:... Ergo tue laudi que tuo genuflexus honori
       Verba loco doni pauper habenda tuli.
    Est tamen ista mei, pie rex, sentencia verbi
       fine tui regni sint tibi regna poli.

    Texte complet (éd. Yeager):Unanimes esse qui secula duxit ad esse
    nos iubet expresse, quia debet amor superesse;
    lex cum iure datur, pax gaudet, plebs gratulatur,
    regnum firmatur, ubi verus amor dominatur.
    Sicut yemps florem, divisio quassat amorem,
    nutrit et errorem quasi pestis, agitque dolorem.
    Quod precessit heri docet ista pericla timeri,
    ut discant veri sapientes secla mederi.
    Filius ipse Dei, manet in quo spes requiei,
    ex meritis fidei dirigat acta rei.
       Diligamus invicem.
