“Offa restauratus regali stirpe creatus Erigitur; spernit quæ degenerantia cernit-- Armis donatur: Cato, Mars, Paris, hic reputatur. Quo floret tuta duce Marcia lege statuta Ense superborum vires reprimens, dominatur. Hunc Rex Francorum Carolus timet et veneratur. Communi voto cum clero Marcia toto Offæ concedit sese, cui mitis obedit, Ergo coronatur: ex tunc Rex jure vocatur!”
V. Matth. Westm., A. D. 779.
