Rudolphus rubrinasus fulgentissimo naso,
vidisti et si eum dicas quoque candere.
Omnes tarandi ceteri ridebant vocantes nomina;
non sinebant Rudolphum interesse ludentes.
Olim crassa nocte Christi, Nicholaus it dictum:
“Rudolphe, naso tam claro, agesne traham meam?”
Quitum tarandis amor conclamantibus eum,
“Rudolphe, rubrinase, descendes historia!”
- Johanny Marks 1949, translated into Latin by Philip and Christopher Brunelle
