Planctus on the death of Frederick Barbarossa (1190)

lyrics

Pange melos lacrimosum,
Lacrimans elegia:
Tempus venit planctuosum,
Tempus fraudans gaudia.
Ad eclipsim nox meroris
Obliquat spectacula:
Regnet dolor, nam doloris
Causa stat in specula.

Rheni sidus in occasus
Latium precipitat;
Stella cadit, stelle casus
Terras umbra limitat.
Latet vere Latialis
Plaga, timens oculum,
Nox est culpe socialis,
Crimen querit angulum.

Omnis tellus admiretur
Triste nubis pallium,
Sed sub nocte lamentetur
Rheni supercilium,
Omnis virtus fundat fletus,
Pallas plorat Nestorem,
Vatem plangat vatum cetus,
Lugeat Mars Hectorem.

O quam probans argumentum
Que sit mundi falsitas!
Quid sit mundus, per eventum
Syllogizat veritas:
Ioculatur in iacturis,
Constans inconstantia:
Mors, tremendi princeps iuris,
Regnat sine gratia.
