Latin.png Latin text

Solus excelsi modereris astra,
o Deus, caeli licet, at beati
plurimum possunt.
Rogitamus ergo
Panthaleonem.

Deque ponamus vitiis scatentem
jugiter vitam, petet ipse primo:
verba quapropter resonent beati
Panthaleonis.

Hancque post vitam misere caducam,
Trinitas nobis benedicta semper
gaudium confer veluti dedisti
Panthaleoni.
