Vasilissa, ergo gaude,
Quia es digna omni laude,
Cleophe, clara gestis
A tuis de Malatestis,
In Italia principibus
Magnis et nobilibus!

Ex tuo viro clarior,
Quia cunctis est nobilior:
Romeorum est despotus,
Quem colit mundus totus;
In porphyro est genitus,
A deo missus coelitus.

Juvenili aetate pollens
Et formositate volens,
Multum genio fecunda
Et utraque lingua facunda
Ac clarior es virtutibus
Prae aliis his omnibus.

Composition:

    Set to music by Guillaume Dufay (c1400 - 1474), "Vasilissa, ergo gaude", 1420 [  vocal quartet ], isorhythmic motet
