Latin text
1 Princeps marte potens
Guilielmus pacis et auctor
O pater patriæ
cura salus tuæ.
2 Gloria pontificum Ernestus
pietate patronus
gemma sacerdotum
religionis honos.
3 Magnanimus Princeps
Dux servantissimus æqui
Fernandus patriæ magnus
et ipse pater.
4 Matronarum decus
et speculum virtute
piarum clara ducisa
nitet clara Renata nitet.
5 Virginitatis honos et castæ
mentis imago
moribus effulges
Maximiliana tuis.
6 Luna velut rutilat
virtute Iacobe Marchionissa
aulæ spelndor
et omne decus.
7 Nec minus effulget
Salome virtute corusca
cui nihil aridet
virginitate magis.
8 Princeps egregius virtute
Georgius alma
quem pietas patrum
religioque probant.
9 Vive pater patriæ Guilielme:
O inclite princeps
vivat magnanimum clara
corona ducum.
