Unde revertimini, pax, relligioque sorores
 visimus Isareo regna opulenta situ
Quae fortuna soli vel quae reverentia legis
 explicat Annae fides, paxque togata iubar
O soror, Albertus nobis summa otia fecit
 liber ab haeresibus quo duce Boia manet
Quo duce relligio Boiae moderatur habenas
 ingenium Pallas, pax animosque regit
An sua coelitibus celebrantur cantica divis
 Albertus superos relligione colit
Prosperitas, doctrina, salus, vita, otia Martis
 cum pietate fides Bavara regna tenent.
O felix genus hoc hominum o felicia regna
 quae triade hac gaudent: Pallade, pace, fide
Albertus felicior ast quo principe regnant
 relligio, pietas, intemerata fides.
