Poem of the Day: N.Dunstan.Vale

Dunstan amande vale, præsul dignissime, salve,
Dulcis amor patriæ Dunstan amande vale.
Dunstan amande vale, florens in tempora salve,
Tu decus ecclesiæ Dunstan amande vale.
Dunstan amande vale, carpendo gaudia vitæ,
Tu mihi pars animæ Dunstan amande vale.
Francia quot vites gignit, quot Fresia flores,
Gaudia perpetuæ prosperitatis alas.
R[heni squamosos quot prebent equora] pisces,
Tot tibi felices sint, pater alme, dies.
