Original text and translations

Latin text Anima nostra a malis decolorata potest tamen albescere et illuminare melioribus horis. Sic flumen purum lucidumque sordidum cum torrente currenti et imbro qui descendit. Fit clarum et sicut fluet ita purgat donec paulatim speculum natans conlucet. Flores lumine aquae repecussi, in ripa crescunt et novum caelum in suo gremio apparet.

English text Our lives, discoloured with our present woes, May still grow white and shine with happier hours. So the pure limped stream,when foul with stains Of rushing torrents and descending rains, Works itself clear, and as it runs refines, till by degrees the floating mirror shines; Reflects each flower that on the border grows, And a new heaven in it's fair bosom shows.
