We came to Cantum on a happy road,
I wait for you, my love, venerable Dynamius,
You have envied me, O seasons, my headlong love,
While Orpheus moved the tuned strings with his thumb
Nectar, wine, food, clothing, learning, resources —
Whatever complaints the page just sent me contained,
O clouds that come blown by the swift North Wind,
When July, bearer of heat, burns the fiery sands

Among the apostolic ranks and the holy prophets,
Powerful Radegund, of royal stock in the world —
If the seasons were bringing me white lilies as usual
The world's orb is gripped by the ice of winter cold
O queen with power, to whom gold and purple are worthless,
Radegund, mind fertile for God, life of the sisters —
Whence has returned to me a face with shining light?
The kind voice of Gregory the physician came to the sick man
What a crime has crept into the holy enclosure of the assembly!
rightly the glory of your race where faith is most noble:
Lord bishop, good shepherd and author of honor,
Kind, blessed father, universal light, Gregory —
