Quotation
Haec quicumque vides nimio perfecta labore / desine mirari minus est quam martyr habetur / hic aetate puer rudibus iam victor in annis / tempore sub pauco matura laude triumphans / aspera innocuo maculavit tela cruore / et sitiens tenero suxit sibi sanguine(m) praedo / sic victor superas auras regumque petivit / et nos caelesti placidus de sede revisit / nomine Gordianus Christi quem palma coronat / marmore concludens arcam cineresque beatos / presbyter ornavit renovans Vincentius ultro
