Lamberte vir inclite
bonitati solite
tue nos equipera
Inetate tenera
propulisti scelera
diva sugens vbera
fide vixisti vera
gesti ministerio
vt patris imperio
veste nec conburitur
votis tuis flectitur
cristus quibus oritur
fons vivus non moritur
peregrinis colitur
incolis est abditus
illis raro bibitus
exterus hoc alitur

Fixus in certamine
fuisti ne famine
volgi in cantamine
rex maneret nomine
spernens regis peccatum
captaret ne reatum
blasphemasti nuptias
Hinc presul invideris
et per servos sceleris
celebrans occideris
spiritum dans etheris
Tulisti pacienter
bilatum violenter
volgens ut delicias
sint hec mortis pocula
nostre vite fercula
peccatis piacula
meditando singula
