English Translation of this page:
Whoever holds the divine books of Paul,
And reads something beyond these words.
You will fill yourself abundantly while approaching Christ,
A greater power struck the horse down with lightning.
The perfidious force of Mars condemns God’s chosen one,
And he who now fights wars by the river.
St. PAUL.
