Erumpebat Per S. Benedeto
Language: Latin 
Our translations:  FRE
Erumpebat undique Fama sanctitatis
Beatissimi Patris nostri Benedicti.
Erumpebat undique Fama 
et augebatur Benedictus 
in die maiori gratia ventura predicendo.
Unde Rex Gothicus Totila 
ut eludat propheti 
cum Sancti Benedicti Spiritum 
suum illi spatharium indutum mittit purpura.
A multis servus sociis Dum comitatus 
simulat se Regem esse Totila 
Hoc benedictus in tuens statim dicit spathario.
Depone fili quod geris, 
depone purpuram, depone coronam Sceptrum, 
depone ornamentum enim 
illud Regium tuum non est depone.
Oh turpis, oh demens astutia que vel per iocum,
per iocum fallere sanctorum oculos non potest.
Verum Dum prestat Totila Sancto Benedicto 
maximum genuflexus obsequium
Regi Idolatre plurima, 
Benedictus prenuntiat.
Oh pulcra, oh felix devotio que impetrare 
gratias a sanctis vocibus non dubitat.
