1. Petrus beatus catenarum laqueos, Christo jubente, rupit mirabiliter: Custos ovilis et doctor ecclesiae Pastorque gregis, conservator ovium Arcet luporum truculentam rabiem. 2. Quodcunque vinclis super terram strinxeris Erit in astris religatum fortiter; Et quod resolvis in terris arbitrio Erit solutum super caeli radium: In fine mundi iudex eris saeculi. 3. Gloria Deo per immensa saecula, Sit tibi Nate decus et imperium, Honor, potestas, Sanctoque Spiritui; Sit Trinitati salus individuae Per infinita saeculorum saecula. Amen.
