en ego gignendi Dominus ac restituendi quod periit fluxitque potens, arentia quaeque in veteres formas aut flore aut fronde reduco; idque ipsum quandoque homini facturus, inani surgat ut ex cinere structuraque pristina constet, quae mihi pro meritis vel per tormenta rependat crimina vel summae virtutis in arce coruscet non peritura dehinc quacumque in sorte manebit.
Lo, I, the Lord of creation, able to restore that which has perished and passed away, bring back all withered things to their old forms in flower or leaf; and one day I shall do the same for man, so that he shall rise from his lifeless ashes and his former frame be established, either, according to its deserts, to make payment to me through torment for its sins, or to shine in the seat of supreme goodness, and never again to die, in whatever state it shall remain.
