  1. Africaque Aegyptusque et Eoi litora tractus
  2. Ostiaque Euphratis Gallica regna manent.
  3. Frivola se excusat falso prudentia velo,
  4. Voxque injustitiae est crescere velle domi.
  5. Nec veteres memera clades à dispare causa
  6. Trans mare; tunc aliud Gallia et orbis erant.
  7. Cede Deo et tantis aude Tecredere rebus,
  8. Gallia, elementis conscia terra poli
  9. Nec Tibi fata para magnis contraria fatis.
  10. Hoc foret in superos maciere deos.
  11. Vanos tolle metus; nemote impune lacesset,
  12. summaque tentanti cuncta secunda vides.
  13. Hactenus orbis honos audi Ludovice precantes,
  14. Noster Alexander talia bella rogat.
  15. Quicquid habet mortale genus, tua gloria posset
  16. Vincere fortunam si capis ipse tuam.
  17. Nunc ad Te, et tua, Magne pater, consulta revertor
  18. Cui sacra sunt summi credita jura poli.
  19. Gloria prima tua est, per Te si poenitet orbem,
  20. christicolam misere bella movere sibi.
  21. Tu dictis superans animos majore triumpho
  22. Et virtute animi et numine victor eris.
  23. Ore tuo pendent populi; Tibi ridet Olympus,
  24. Et conjuratis viribus aether ad est.
  25. Incipe divinae rivos effundere Suadae
  26. incipe Dectrinae spargere dulcis opes.
  27. Privatus poteras in Te convertere mundum,
  28. quid poteris genius nunc ubi major agit
  29. Omnia sunt perspecta sibi, disce hoc tamen unum:
  30. plus potes, humilitas quam tua summa capit.
  31. Aspice phoenicio monstrantem e litore Christum
  32. Victrices Erebi signa sacrata, cruces.
  33. Aegnaque jam Solymae fient patrimonia Petri
  34. Divini et quicquid circumiere pedes.
  35. Aursus Alexandri distinguat linea Mundum
  36. Christigenum in populos, diribitore novo.
  37. incipe: placati parent sibi murmura ponti,
  38. Et classes properant, quo tua vela ferent.
  39. Teutonicique equites juncti Melitensibus instant,
  40. Purgatisque patent suncta sepulera locis.
  41. Quin Luneburgiaci jungent se in praelia fratres,
  42. Et saxo, et quicquid nobilis Arctos habet.
  43. Et Tua magna Parens, sapientum Vrbs Hadria matet
  44. Proferat jonio pronuba bella mari.
  45. G. C
