nonne pudet regem populum sceptrisque poten-tem talia pro patriae censere litanda salute, religionis opem subternis poscere ab antris? evocat, heu, poenis tenebrosa ex sede ministrum interitus, speciosa hominum cui funera donet.
Is it not shameful that a strong imperial nation thinks it needful to offer such sacrifices for its countrys welfare, and seeks the help of religion from the vaults of hell? With blood, alas, it calls up the minister of death from his dark abode to present him with a splendid offering of dead men.
