Disquirant alii sibi remque decusque per artes
Quas solers varias monstrat Atlantiades,
Sed tibi Sigismunde placet divinus Apollo,
Qui docet haud dubiam laudis inire viam. In ire viam.
Hinc te prosequitur loeto Germania plausu,
Et tibi sancta hilari carmina voce canit.

German.png German translation

Mögen andere nach Besitz und Ruhm durch unterschiedliche Mittel suchen,
welche der raffinierte Atlantiades (Hermes) anbietet,
doch dir, Sigismund, gefällt der göttliche Apoll,
der lehrt, nicht den ungewissen Pfad des Ruhms zu betreten.
Daher schenkt dir Germania freudigen Beifall
und singt dir mit fröhlicher Stimme feierliche Lieder.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt
