''Poetical Latin translation:'' Hoc maximum miraculum, vetusta fama nuntiat: olim fuisse tempora, cum nulla nec tellus foret nec mons foret nec arbores nec stella luce lucida nec luna solque siderum princeps nec aequoris nitor. Rerum fuit chaos, nihil dum desinit vel incipit. Sed unicus magnus Deus praesto fuit sanctissimus, omni potentia potens clementiaque praeditus cum angelorum milibus virtute praepollentibus.
