Conspicuum retinet bustum memoranda per aeuum Membra locata patris praesulis eximii Oswaldi; meritis uiuax et pectore gnarus Qui fuit et cultor exulis et miseri. Psalmicen assiduus non nouerat otia plectri Ad uitam properans sancta canens obiit Normam sectatus Christi qui lauit alumnis Plantas, hic etiam lauerat ipse suis. Ilium tunc rapuit, quem nunquam pectore spreuit Septem cum gradibus explicitis abiit. Finem cum ense breuians mortis quoque fine Astris plus rutilum uiuere facta canunt.
