| Amazon Olga and I rode his Ban | B |
| A stallion in the royal ring | A |
| Who would not bear a man | B |
| - | |
| And in Ban's saddle did I feel the pains | C |
| For my first born the king's sole hope his heir | D |
| My Karl himself would loose the reins | C |

| Our gracious Mary for a granted prayer | D |
| Heralds trumps the same gay maze | E |
| Of troops King Karl is there | D |

| Laus Deo with a child and with his mate | K |
| She wins the throne by bringing him a son | L |
| Babes make or mar our queenly fate | K |
| My woman's life is done | L |
