Rex
sedet in suo solio
in regio splendore
magnifico gabitu
redimitus diademate
tenens manu sceptrum
et stipatur frequentia aulicorum.

Inter hos primarii sunt
cancellarius,
cum consiliariis
et secretariis;
praefectus praetorii
aulae magister
pocillator
dapifer
thesaurarius
archi-cubicularius
et stabuli magister.

Subordinantur his
aulici
famulitium
cum cubiculariis
cursoribus
et satellitio.

Rex solemniter recipit
legatos exterorum.

Aliorsum ablegat
vicarios suos
administratores
praefectos, quaestores
et legatos
quibus subinde mittit
mandata nova
 per veredarios.

Morio
movet risum
ludicris actionibus.

King
sits on his throne
in a splendid state
with a magnificent habit

and attended by courtiers.

The chief among these
are the chancellor
with counsellors
and secretaries;
lord-marshall
comptroller
cupbearer
taster
treasurer
high chanberlain
and the master of stables.

Subordinate to these are
courtiers
pages
with chamberlains
lackeys
and bodyguards.

King solemnly receives
ambassadors of foreign rulers.

To other places he sends
his vice-regents
deputies
governors, treasurers
and ambassadors
to whom he sends
their new mandates
by couriers.

The fool
makes laughter
by his ludicrous actions.
