Fili, non te frangant labores,
dura, fideliter labora, scibe, lege,
canta, geme, tace, ora,
sustine paulisper: ego ero merces tua.

Ecce veniet dies illa, ubi lux perpetua,
claritas infinita, pax firma et requies secura,
salus indeficiens, anxietas nulla, jucunditas beata,
societas dulcis, amabilis et praeclara.
