It's a good beast biting the ground.
It must have its knife and its board
And its food right under its thigh.

A slim strong man, to him the court belongs,
That best of places, worthy to be praised.

Christ's sacrifice to feed our faith,
And without him no pope
Or emperor can keep alive,
No wine-giving, sprightly king
Of notable prudence, no living man.
