Robert of Sicily, brother of Pope Urbane

And Valmond, Emperor of Allemaine,

Appareled in magnificent attire,

With retinue of many a knight and squire,

On St. John's eve, at vespers, proudly sat,

And heard the priests chant the Magnificat,

And as he listened, o'er and o'er again

Repeated, like a burden or refrain,
