Ydri fraudes ergo cave, infirmantes subleva,
aurum temne, fuge luxus, si vis astra petere.
Zona clara castitatis lumbos nunc praecingere,
in occursum magni regis fer ardentes lampades.

Ydris' wiles reject; sustain the sick

Language: English after the Latin

Ydris' wiles reject; sustain the sick;
  despise mere riches, if the stars you'd seek. 
Zone your loins around with virtue's ring;
  bring torches bright to greet your mighty King.
