'''Description:''' Lassus composed this motet to be sung during the service for the reception of Cardinal Reginald Pole, that took place in St. Paul's Cathedral, London, on the first Sunday of Advent, 2 December 1554. Lassus was in England at this time, as was also [[Philippe de Monte]], and both were probably present. In the first verse, the author of the text (most probably Lassus himself) makes a wordplay between ''poli'' (heavens) and ''Pole'' (vocative of the Cardinal's latinized surname, ''Polus'').

Te spectant, Reginalde, poli,
tibi sidera rident, exsultant montes,
personat Oceanus, Anglia dum plaudit
quod faustos excutis ignes;
elicis et lacrimas ex adamante suo.
 

English.png English translation

The heavens observe you, Reginald,
the stars smile for you, the mountains exult,
the ocean resounds, while England applauds,
because you send forth auspicious fires
and elicit tears from its diamond.
