[-483-] Quatuor ut reges infra sua regna sedentes;

Hinc protus ac deuterus, tritus tropicusque tetrardus

[-484-] Sub dicione sua cohibent modulamina cuncta,

Quos tam prudenter distinxit musica mater.

Nam statuit cunctas vocum discrimine metas,

Unus ut alius non usurpet sua cantus.

A gravitate quidem nimium distabat acumen,

Et gravitas neumis non conveniebat acutis

Fit ex consilio divisio quatuor octo. 

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

Omnibus hospitium finale dedit tetracordum.
