Imperator rex Grecorum [51a] lyrics

ca. 1168/69

1.

Imperator rex Grecorum,

minas spernens paganorum,

auro sumpto thesaurorum

parat sumptus armatorum.

Refl.

Ayos

o theos athanathos,

ysma sather yschyros!

miserere kyrios,

salva tuos famulos!

2.

Almaricus miles fortis,

rex communis nostre sortis,

in Egypto fractis portis

Turcos stravit dire mortis.

Refl.

Ayos

o theos athanathos,

ysma sather yschyros!

miserere kyrios,

salva tuos famulos!

3.

Omnis ergo Christianus

ad Egyptum tendat manus!

semper ibi degat sanus,

destruatur rex paganus!

Refl.

Ayos

o theos athanathos,

ysma sather yschyros!

miserere kyrios,

salva tuos famulos!
