Si quæris miracula, If then you ask for miracles, Mors, error, calamitas, Death, error, all calamities, Dæmon, lepra fugiunt, The leprosy, and demons fly, Ægri surgunt sani. And health succeeds infirmities.

Cedunt mare, vincula; The sea obeys, and fetters break, Membra resque perditas And lifeless limbs thou dost restore; Petunt et accipiunt Whilst treasures lost are found again, Juvenes et cani. When young or old thine aid implore.

Pereunt pericula, All dangers vanish at thy prayer, Cessat et necessitas; And direst need doth quickly flee; Narrent hi, qui sentiunt, Let those who know, thy power proclaim, Dicant Paduani. Let Paduans say: These are of thee. Cedunt mare, vincula; The sea obeys, and fetters break, Membra resque perditas And lifeless limbs thou dost restore; Petunt et accipiunt Whilst treasures lost are found again, Juvenes et cani. When young or old thine aid implore.
