Te merito Daniel inter veneratur amantes
  phoebei primum gloria prima chori.
Inter primates regni nam primus haberis
  es virtute prior cum pietate simul.

Subque tuo Daniel florent modo nomina Musae,
  publica res colitur, pax viget atque salus,
dotibus his nunquam moriturum nomen adeptus
  transcendas pilii saecla patrone pie.
