Quotation
Lux arcana dei verbum sapientia lucis / atque coruscantis splendida imago patris / ad nos descendit nec quo fuit esse recessit / ut caecas mentes erueret tenebris / plenus homo in nostris et verus nascitur isdem / virginis ex utero totus ubique deus / discipulus praecepta dedit Petrumque beatum / hos inter primum sanxit et egregium / cuius in arbitrio caelum terramque reliquit / pandere vel potius claudere cumque velit / nam sub mortigenae quidam iacuere gehennae / verbere confossi mente fide opere / histria testatur possessa hostilibus annis / septies et decies scismate pestifero / esset ut impletum Hieremiae voce canentis / ultio captivis tam numerosa fuit / sed bonus antistes dux plebis Honorius armis / redditi ecclesiae membra revulsa piis / doctrinis montisque suis de faucibus hostis / abstulit exactis iam peritura modis / at tuus argento praesul construxit opimo / ornavitque fores Petre beate tbi / tu modo caelorum quapropter ianitor alme / fac tranquilla tui tempora cuncta gregis
