CARMEN GRATVLATORIVM.

COmiter hoc factum est a te (Comes optime) vt istis
hospes in angustis aedibus esse velis.
Quò minor haec domus est, bonitas tua maior habenda est,
in tenui hospitio, gratior hospes eris.
O Comes es comis, merito Comes ergò vocaris,
dux tibi sit Christus, nobilitas (que) comes.
