Latin text
Defunctum Charites Vaetem moerore requirunt,
mittentes duplices ore gemente manus,
Musicus huncque chorus deplorat Caesaris,
eheu, eheu, ulterius Clotho si tenuisset onus.
Qui vario praestans virtutis nomine Musis
orbis in extremo climate notus erat.
Hunc et jure pius Caesar sibi luget ademptum:
languet enim rapto,
Musica praesidio.
