Original text and translations

Spanish and Latin text Corten espadas afiladas lenguas malas Mañana de San Francisco levantado me an un dicho que dormi con la niña virgo. Libera me, Domine a labiis iniquis et a lingua dolosa Lenguas malas corten espadas afiladas. Beatus vir qui timet Dominum: in mandatis ejus volet nimis.

English translation May sharp swords cut out all evil tongues! In the morning of St Francis Day a slander was spread about me that I had slept with the virgin lady. O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips, and a deceitful tongue. May sharp swords cut out all evil tongues! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments. Translation by Carlos Augusto Mourão
