Crux fidelis, inter omnes arbor una nobilis: nulla silva talem profert, fronde, flore, germine. Dulce lignum, dulces clavos, dulce pondus sustinet.
Croix fidèle, arbre unique noble entre tous : aucune forêt n'en a produit de semblable en feuillage, en fleur, en fruit. Doux arbre, doux clous, qui portez un doux poids.

Asperges me, Domine, hyssopo, et mundabor: lavabis me, et super nivem dealbador. Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam.
Arrose-moi, Seigneur, avec l'hysope, et je serai purifié : lave-moi, et je serai plus blanc que la neige. Aie pitié de moi, Dieu, selon ta grande miséricorde.
