Original text and translations

Latin text

Laudemus fortissimum Christi martyrem beatum italem
qui sevissimos persecutores cruciatus fortiter
sustinens nunquam Christum negavit,
sed cum torqueretur oculos ac manus in caelum,
oculos ac manus in caelum orationem fudit ad Dominum, dicens:
Domine Jesu Christe salvator meus et Deus meus,
in te suscipe spiritum meum quia iam desidero
ut accipiam coronam quam angelus tuus ostendit mihi,
et completa oratione emisit spiritum.
