Latin text

Rex Asia et Ponti potuit celeberrimus olim,
Linguarum varios ore sonare modos,
Divitiis alios longe superaverat omnes,
Imperii cuius maxima Roma tui,
Rebus Alexander gestis clarissimis orbis,
Inclitus immensi Rex domitorque fuit.
O prisce Wolffange decusque et gloria stirpis Auspurge,
Qua se carmina iactat ovans his quaque fortuna parente voluit esse:
Alma tamen virtus annumerare cupit.
