Hymnus
Vexílla regis pródeunt, fulget crucis mystérium, quo carne carnis cónditor suspénsus est patíbulo;
Quo, vulnerátus ínsuper mucróne diro lánceæ, ut nos laváret crímine, manávit unda et sánguine.
Arbor decóra et fúlgida, ornáta regis púrpura, elécta digno stípite tam sancta membra tángere!
O lovely and refulgent Tree, Adorned with purpled majesty; Culled from a worthy stock, to bear Those Limbs which sanctified were.
Beáta, cuius brácchiis sæcli pepéndit prétium; statéra facta est córporis prædam tulítque tártari.
Salve, ara, salve, víctima, de passiónis glória, qua Vita mortem pértulit et morte vitam réddidit!
O crux, ave, spes única! hoc passiónis témpore, piis adáuge grátiam reísque dele crímina.

How long will thou throw yourself upon a man, to pull him down all together, like a fence that leans, like a wall that falls down?

In statéram si conscéndant, * super fumum leves sunt omnes.
in the balance they would rise, all together lighter than a breath.
Nolíte speráre in violéntia † et in rapína nolíte décipi; * divítiæ si áffluant, nolíte cor appónere.
