Original text and translations

Latin text

Vive Deo semper,
gens insensata, nec unquam vive homini,
fac quae postulo, vive Deo.
Nulla fides homini,
nunquam mortalibus ullis,
fidendum est, quare supplico vive Deo.
Vive Deo, et totam circa hunc spem ponito,
nusquam in se sperantes deserit ipse Deus,
vive Deo quisquis fueris, nec vive creatis,
vive creatori, nec fine, vive Deo.
