Hoc tumulata iacet pusilla puellula busto,
Adeleid amne sacro
quae vocitata fuit.
Huic sator est Karolus,
gemino diademate pollens,
Nobilis ingenio,
fortis ad arma satis.
Sumpserat haec ortum
prope moenia celsa Papiae,
Cum caperet genitor
Itala regna potens;
Sed Rhodanum properans
rapta est de limine vitae,
Ictaque sunt matris
corda dolore procul.
Excessit, patrios non
conspectura triumphos,
Hunc Patris aeterni
regna beata tenet.
Within this sepulcher, a little girl lies buried;
She was called at baptism Adelaide.Charles was her father,
Charles the Mighty,
Noble in wit, intrepid
in the midst of arms,
The bearer of two diadems.
She had, near the high walls
of Pavia, her birth.
While her powerful sire
conquered the Italian Kingdom,
Nearing the Rhone,
she was snatched
from the threshold of life.
Far distant, her mother's heart
was stricken with sorrow.
She died, never beholding
the triumph of her father,
And in the kingdom now
of the Blessed,
The Infinite Father has her.
