humidaque inlisae pressisti lumina terrae,
attollens oculos trepido miracula uisu
concipe et eximio causam committe patrono.
5 nulla potest tantas conplecti pagina uires,
quamquam ipsa his titulis caementa et saxa notentur.
terrenum non claudit opus, quod regia caeli
suscipit et rutilis inscribunt sidera gemmis.
10 tange polum, angelicum scrutatus in aethere coetum.
illic coniunctum domino perquire patronum,
sectantem aeterni semper uestigia regis.
si dubitas, ingesta oculis miracula cerne,
quis famuli meritum uerus saluator honorat.
15 accedis reliquis inter tot milia testis,
\'dum narranda uides sollers et uisa retexis.
instaurat renouante deo. quo munere gaudent
caecus, clodus, inops, furiosus, anxius, aeger,
20 debilis, oppressus, captiuus, maestus, egenus.
omnis apostolicis gaudet curatio signis.
qui flens adfuerit, laetus redit. omnia cedunt
nubila. quod meritum turbat, medicina serenat.
expete praesidium: non frustra haec limina pulsas.
