      Onderibus genuus omne mali, probriq; gravatus,

      Vixq; ferenda ferens, Palma ut depressa, resurgo.

      Ac, velut undarum Fuctûs Ventìque, furorem

      Irati Populi Rupes immotta repello.

      Clarioré tenebris, cœlestis stella, corusco.

      Victor æternum fœlici pace triumpho.

      Auro fulgentem rutilo gemmisque micantem,

      At curis Gravidam spernendo calco Coronam.

      Spinosam, at ferri facilem, quo spes mea, Christi

      Auxilio, Nobis non est tractare molestum.

      Æternam, fixis fidei, semperque beatam

      In Cœlos occulis specto, Mobìsque-paratam.

      Quod vanum est, sperno; quod Christi Gratia præbet

      Amplecti studium est: Virtutis Gloria merces.

      T

      Hough clogg'd with weights of miseries,

      Palm-like depress'd, I higher rise.

      And as th' unmoved Rock out-braves

      The boyst'rous winds, and raging waves;

      So triumph I. And shine more bright

      In sad Affliction's darksom night.

      That splendid, but yet toilsome Crown,

      Regardlesly I trample down.

      With joy I take this Crown of Thorn,

      Though sharp, yet easie to be born.

      That heav'nly Crown, already mine,

      I view with eyes of faith divine.

      I slight vain things; and do embrace

      Glory, the just reward of Grace.

Τὸ Χῖ οὐδὲν ἠδίκησε τὴν πόλιν, οὐδὲ τὸ Κάππα.
