Johannes Scotus Eriugena (Poemata-1)

The edition of his poems can be found in MGH Poetae 3,2, p. 516ff.

I
Caesare sub Karolo Francorum gloria pollet,
Litora ceu pelagi piscibus atque salo:
Secta diabolici damnatur dogmatis atque
Pastorum cura plendet amoena fides.

Another very long Poem with Greek words used occasionally will be posted soon.
