Et cum agatur de pauperibus,

In bondage, carceratis, for their sake,

In eorum causis, natural piety,

Pietas, ever ought to win the day,

Triumphare debet, quia ipsi sunt,

Because those very paupers constitute,

Thesaurus Christi, all the wealth of Christ.

Nevertheless I shall not hold you long

With multiplicity of proofs, nor burn

Candle at noontide, clarify the clear.
