The verso has musical notation and three hymns, and reads as follows: "[Quesmus ergo deus ut sere]no annuas vultu famulos gubernans qui tui summo celebrant amore guadia templi. Nulla nos vite crucient molesta sint dies leti placideque noctes nulles ex nobis pereunte mundo senciat ignes. Hec dies in qua tibi consecretam conspicis aram tribuat perhenne gau[dium]". |
