vivo pie vobis auctoribus, inpia pridem arte Iovis, fateor; quid enim non ille cruentum tradidit? aut quid mite sibi placidumve poposcit? qui, dum praemetuit cultus inolescere Christi, saeviit ac miserum foedavit sanguine saeclum.
Under your lead my life is godly; formerly, I confess, I was ungodly, through the deception of Jupiter. For what bloody cruelty did he not pass to me? When did he ever demand for himself an act that was mild and gentle? Fearing beforehand that the worship of Christ would take root, he vented his rage and befouled a wretched world with blood.
