Text
TRIPLUM
Portio nature, precellentis geniture,
Ide recture, iuste sancteque stature,
Bolonie cure comitisse non sine iure,
flagranti thure prefemur cantica pure;
Lotarie rore duce progenie genitore
milicie flore Godefrido
cordis honore,
inde maritate famoso nobilitate
Eustachio grate. Mundi per climata late,
equis tres nati fuerunt et equis reparati
equis et grati, mira probitate probati:
Eustachius primus, Godofridus et alter opimus
extitit, ut legimus,
Baldevinus datur ymus.
Qui transvexere mare, gentiles iniere
et invenere tumulum Dei, cum sibi vere
Iherusalem libere, duo postremique fuere
reges, augere- que Dei fidem studuere.
Gaudentes, leti, tandem langore repleti,
termine deleti
tribuerunt membra quieti.
Christicolis culti, iuxta tumulumque sepulti,
verbigena fulti, quod possunt cernere multi,
cum quibus in vita sine fine quiete polita
vivere finita- que queamus carne sospita.
Carcere dimisi mundi simus, fore
visi
celo gavisi cum dilectis paradisi.
MOTETUS
Ida capillorum matris domini dominorum
igne probatorum; cum lino nil perit horum,
vanuit illorum per adesse pir hoc, sed eorum
propter abesse thorum cuius ussit flamma
rogorum.
Gazam quesivit veramque probam vestivit.
Hanc habitamque sivit in claustro quod stabilivit.
Gaudens in cella nominata voce Capella,
orci quam bella desfugere. Fulgida stella,
hoc tibi cantamen et dictionale segregamen
offert
laudamen Henricus avens rogitamen
mortis in examen, anime quod sis relevamen,
post exalamen ut tecum regnitet. Amen
