Incipit:	O Deus immense, sub quo dominantur in ense quidam morosi Reges, quidam viciosi, disparibus meritis — sic pax, sic mocio litis publica regnorum manifestant gesta suorum…
Explicit:	… Rex igitur videat cum curru quomodo vadat, Et sibi provideat, ne rota versa cadat. Celorum regi pateant que scripta peregi, namque sue legi res nequit ulla tegi.
