sed tu, flos sacerdotum gemma pontificum, scientia fortis fortior conscientia, minas undasque mundialium sperne nimborum, quia frequenter ipse docuisti, quod ad promissa convivia patriarcharum vel ad nectar caelestium poculorum per amaritudinum terrenarum calices perveniretur.
But, flower of the priesthood, jewel among pontiffs, strong in knowledge and stronger still in the purity of true conscience, I urge you to despise the threatening floods from earthly storm-clouds, since you yourself have often taught that we meet bitter cups of earthly troubles on our way to the promised banquets of the patriarchs and the draughts of heavenly nectar.
