Levita Laurentius bonum opus operatus est,
qui per signum crucis caecos illuminavit,
et thesauros Ecclesiae dedit pauperibus.
Alleluia.

The deacon Lawrence hath wrought a good work,
he who, by the sign of the cross, gave sight to the blind
and gave the treasures of the Church to the poor.
Hallelujah.
