Latin text
Hodie Simon Petrus ascendit crucis patibulum, alleluia.
Hodie clavicularius regni gaudens migravit ad Christum.
Hodie Paulus apostolus, lumen orbis terrae, inclinato capite pro Christi nomine, martyrio coronatus est, alleluia.
English translation
Today Simon Peter ascended the gibbet of the cross, alleluia:
today he, keeper of the keys of the kingdom, departed hence with joy to Christ:
today did the Apostle Paul, the light of the whole world, bow his head, and for Christ’s Name’s sake
receive the crown of his martyrdom, alleluia.
