Letter 9009: Ad Droctoveum abbatem
XI
Ad Droctoveum abbatem
Vir venerande, sacer meritis et honore colende,
Droctovee, mihi semper amore pater,
qui de discipulis Germani iure beati
norma magisterii factus es ipse sui;
cuius pontificis sacra per vestigia currens
despicis hic mundum, [dum] cupis ire polo:
perge libenter iter caeli mansurus in orbe,
et pro me famulo, quaeso, precato deum.
