Original text and translations

Latin text

Agatha laetissime et glorianter ibat ad carcerem,

et quasi ad epulas invitata

agonem suum Domino praecibus commendabat.

English translation

Translation by Paul Pascal , Professor Emeritus of Classics, University of Washington

Agatha most joyfully and gloriously went to a dungeon,

and, as if she were invited to a sumptuous feast,

she commended her suffering to the Lord with prayers.
