Original text and translations

Latin text

Ni Deus curet, regat & laborem Tunc domus
frustra ædificatur omnis:
Civitatem ni negat irriti sunt Excubitores
Nil riversuram juvat, ante lucem surgere,
& noctes vigilare totas
Angeris frustra, & nimium laborans, falleris ipse.
Est Deo soli quia danda cura
Cui volet per somnia largietur
Ille magnas divitias simulque Dona perampla.
Est Dei munus numerosa proles,
Sic ad edictum pueri feruntur cuncta regentis
O Deo charus nimiumque felix,
Cui replent tales pharetram sagittæ;
Hic opes sævi facili labore conteret hostis.
