Quo sanctum Marcum chorus angelorum
Vehens ad gaudia [AH: ‘ad summa gaudia’] caelorum
Associavit coetibus sanctorum
sede perenni [source: ‘perhempni’].

Sacerdotali praeditum honore
Typicum legis veteris ex more
Et sacrae fultum pangine [AH: ‘paginae’] decore
Caelitus dato.

Ut a devotis fratribus exactus
Evangelista quoque Christi factus
Verba ipsius pariter et actus
Scriberet recte.
