credite, captivi mortales, hostica quos iam damnatos cohibent ergastula, quos famulatu poenarum virtus non intellecta coercet, haec illa est Babylon, haec transmigratio nostrae gentis et horribilis victoria principis Assur, carmine luctifico quam deflens Hieremias orbatam propriis ululavit civibus urbem.
Believe, ye captive mortals, who are condemned to confinement in your enemys prison-house, who are kept in durance under the bondage of punishment because you did not understand goodness, this is the Babylon ye have heard of, this is the removal of our race and the fearful conquest of the king of Assyria which Jeremiah bewailed in his song of lamentation, weeping for a city bereft of her people.
