Motet de Saint Barthélémy : Lætentur cœli
Language: Latin 
Our translations:  SPA
Laetentur coeli et exultet terra 
in hac die quo triunphat 
beatus apostolus martyr Bartolomoeus,
Quid quid anguit 
et moerorem inducit pectoribus, 
quid quid crucem 
et dolorem inurit corporibus
Chrisi tulit ob amorem
martyr Bartolomoeus. 
Hic est cujus cruciatu 
nil fuit immanius, 
cujus marthyrium nihil crudelius,
cujus victoria nihil illustrius 
et cujus triunphis nihil sublimius.
O crudele spectaculum
o flebile marthyrium,
ferociter cruentatur
et dorso et pectore
fit vulnus dum laniatur
unum tota pectore. 
Propterea gaudete superi,
gaudete homines, 
et in laudes Batolomoei 
resonet Ecclesiae plausibus, 
et gaudiis et concentus angelis 
et concentus angelorum 
societur modulis.
