Ciaran, Saint, abbot of Clonmacnois

Matre Quiarani sedente in curru uolubili
  [ deg.23]Sonitum magus audiuit perdixitque seruulis
  "Videte quis sit in curru, nam sub rege resonat."
  "Coniunx" inquiunt "Beodi sedet his artificis."
  Magus inquit "Gratum cunctis ipsa regem pariet,
  Cuius opera fulgebunt ut Phebus in ethere."
  Miles Christi Keranus, Sancti sedes Spiritus,
  Spiritali pietatis uirtute floruerat.

  Vitulum uacce lactentem iam cani concesserat,
  Queranum inde grauiter mater reprehenderat;
  Vitulum cane uoratum ab ipso exegerat,
  Cuius ossa mox apportans ipsum restaurauerat.

[Sidenote  deg.24: R2 130c]

  Mulieris regie caput decaluatum
  Seue zelo pelicis fuerat nudatum.
  In Querani nomine cum esset signatum,
  [ deg.24]Aurea cessarie fulserat ornatum.

  Cum Queranus studiis sacris teneretur,
  Atque tempus posceret ut operaretur.
  Pro ipso ab angelis tunc mola mouetur.

  Textus euangelicus in stagnum ceciderat,
  Sed uoluto tempore per Querani merita,
  Integrum de gurgite uacca reportauerat.

  Cum puer oraret Dominum, precibusque uacaret,
      ignis ab excelsis uenerat arce poli.
  Defunctusque puer conspexit lumina uite,
      et sancti magnum glorificant Dominum [Deum MSS.].
  De celis lapsus rutilans accenditur ignis,
    et peragit proprium protinus officium.

  Alto et ineffabili apostolorum cetui
  Celestis Ierosolime, sublimioris specule,
  Sedenti tribunalibus solis modo micantibus,
  Queranus sacerdos sanctus, insignis Christi nuntius,
  Inaltatus est manibus angelorum celestibus,
  Consummatis felicibus sanctitatum generibus;
  Quem Tu Christe apostolum mundo misisti hominem,
  Gloriosum in omnibus nouissimis temporibus.
