Original text and translations

Latin text

Jam nova perpetuo redeunt fulgentia vere
 regna fatigatis aere credente votis,
Italia omnipotens gaude Germania secum,
 tergeminisque sonet plausibus astra solum.

Madrutius rex namque hominum divumque sacerdos,
 utraque Mercurio praepete sceptra regit,
sic caelo et terris placitum vos dicite vates,
 pro meritumque supra sidera ferte ducem.
