En Frenkock ha Carnoack deskes dha,
Gen ol an Gormola Brez ve dotha
Garres ew ni, ha Neidges Ewartha.

E'n tavas Greka, Latin ha'n Ebrow,
En Frenkek ha Kernowek deskys da,
Gen oll an gormola bras 'veu dhodho
Gerys on ni, ha neyjys a-wartha.

Translation

In the Greek, Latin and Hebrew languages,
In French and Cornish, learned well,
With all the high praise he got,
We are left, and [he is] flown on high.
