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.

Alégrense los cielos y regocíjese la tierra en este día en que triunfa el santo apóstol y mártir Bartolomé. Todo lo que lo angustiaba e introducía tormento en su pecho, el dolor que en la cruz quemaba su cuerpo, por amor de Cristo lo soportaba el mártir Bartolomé. Como su suplicio ninguno hubo más inhumano ni martirio más cruel, y como su victoria, ninguna más grande ni triunfo más sublime. Oh cruel espectáculo, oh aflictivo martirio, ferozmente desgarrados espalda y pecho, mientras la herida despedazaba su pecho. Por lo tanto, alegraos en el cielo, alegraos hombres, y en alabanza de Bartolomé resuenen los aplausos de la Iglesia, y al gozo y la armonía angélicas se unan las melodías del concierto de los ángeles.
