The chieftain in the camp, the husbandman in the threshing-floor.

Then the prose is said by all who choose, in surplices before the altar.

"Let the Shepherd sound his trumpet of horn."

Let the choir respond to the chant of the prose after every verse, upon the letter [super litteram].

That the vineyard of Christ might be free,

Which he assumed under a robe of flesh,

He liberated it by the purple cross.

The adversary, the erring sheep,

Becomes bloodstained by the slaughter of the shepherd.
