"Transcribed from the Trent manuscript tr91. The notes' values, accidentals and the colourings are as in the manuscript, the coloured notes are in ''proportio sesquialtera'' (3 vs. 2). All the three voices have only the text incipit of the second verse of the hymn. The notes' values within the ''ligaturæ'' are as follows: the left upstemmed notes are semibreves - the unstemmed notes are breves - the right downstemmed note are ''longæ''. The ''musica ficta'' suggestions are in the MIDI and MusicXML files."

Sancto Laurentio Martyris Christi colimus triumphum annuum tempus venerando, cuius cernuo voto prece iam rotundus orbis adorat. Pontifex Sixtus monuit ministrum fixus in ligno crucis exequeris me cito, poenam patiendo magnam ibis ad astra. Tortor iratus petit, ut talenti pondus ignoti manifestet omne mente vesana cupiens vorare aurea lucra. Sprevit hic mundiun peritura dona, fert opem nudis, alimenta claudis, dividit nummos miseris cateruis corde flagranti. Igne torquetur, stabili tenore cordis accensus superat minaces ignium flammas in amore vitae semper opimae. Uritur postquam latus omne testis, verte, profecto loquitur iocando, corporis partem laniando coctam dentibus atris. Spiritum sumpsit chorus angelorum, intulit coelo pie laureando, ut scelus laxet hominum precando omnipotentem. Supplici voto rogitemus omnes: sancte Laurenti veniam preceris, qui tuum festum celebrant ubique voce vel actu. Gloriam Patri resonemus omnes, eius et Nato iubilemus apte, cum quibus regnat simul et creator Spiritus almus.
