Mitis ab æthereo clementia Christus Olimpo Protegat, exaltet, ornet, amet, foveat. Nec, precor, aspiciat clementi lumine nostras Litterulas, scripsit quæ pietatis amor. Terra, polus, pelagus, homines volucresque feræque, Cantoris resonent voce, valeto pater. Pagina si brevis est, non est brevis ardor amantis, Nam plus corda colunt quam mea verba sonant. Christicolæ angelica Sigerico carmina laudent Salve, sancte Dei præsul resonantque per ævum.
