'Christus Dominus in Serpente Ęneo pręfiguratus, oratorium'
'Christus Dominus in Serpente Ęneo pręfiguratus, oratorium': in rhythmical and rhyming Latin verse: beg. 'Elias. Longo labore oppressi.' This is a sort of miracle play, perhaps written for nuns, as the parts (Moses, Angelus, etc.) appear to have been taken by women.
