(-) : Rex Asiae et Ponti

-> English

Rex Asiae et Ponti potuit celeberimus olim

Rex Asiae et Ponti potuit celeberimus olim
Linguarum varios ore sonare modos,
Divitiis alius longe superaverat omnes
Imperii civis, maxima Roma, tui.
Rebus Alexander gestis clarissimus orbis
Inclitus immensi rex domitorque fuit.
O priscae Wolffange decusque et gloria stirpis
Auspergae, qua se carmina iactat ovans
His quamquam fortuna parem te noluit esse,
Alma tamen virtus annumerare cupit.

(Source: Meier, Bernardus (1971), p.88-91)

English


The very celebrated King of Asia and of Pontus once
Was able to speak forth the varied measures of tongues;
With its riches very great
Rome has conquered far and wide all others of this empire of yours:
Alexander, most famous because of his deeds
Was the glorious King and master of the world:
O venerable Wolfgang of Augsburg, both honor and glory of the race
Rejoicing in it, Augsburg sings these songs:
Wheresover Fortune has wished to be as you obeyed
Still has kindly Virtue desired to increase them [your honor and glory].

(Source: Nuernberger, L. Dean (1963), p.22)
