Latin text
Edite caesareo Boiorum sanguine Princeps
Bavariae gentis spes columenque domus
Hac aetate tibi quemquam pietate secundum
Et virtute parem non superesse puto.
Obscura sub nocte micans ut Cynthia vultus
Splendore exsuperat astra minora suo
Non aliter, Princeps Alberte excellis avita
Virtute illustres ac pietate viros.
