Original text and translations

Latin text

Mente tuos repeto Noercarme labores
  et grave susceptum quam bene munus obis
seu spectem quantum sis pace in signis et armis
  sive animi intuear coelica dona tui.

Virtutum attonitus sum majestate tuarum
  quae poterit meritis digna corona dari
te tantum patriae natum reor esse saluti
  macte animo veteres laus tua vincit avos.
