Related texts in other sources: 

Compare the original poem on which the contrafactum is based (Enea Silvio Piccolomini, Metrum saphicum adonium de nativitate Domini, in Epigrammata), st. 8 (and last):
Da bonam nobis, puer alme, pacem;
Sit tibi regis populique cura,
Ut viam semper teneant placentem
Rex tibi celi.

Further notes: 

This text observes the form of the Sapphic stanza.
Continuation of T191-194 (see the relevant records for a comparison of original and contrafacted stanzas). In I-Mfd 3 "feri" instead of "ferri" and "sit tibi ducis" instead of "sit tibi regis".
