Latin text

Edite caesareo Boiorum sanguine Princeps
  Bavariae gentis spes columenque domus
Hac aetate tibi quemquam pietate secundum
  Et virtute parem non superesse puto.

Obscura sub nocte micans ut Cynthia vultus
  Splendore exsuperat astra minora suo
Non aliter, Princeps Alberte excellis avita
  Virtute illustres ac pietate viros.
