Original text and translations

Latin text O cruor sanguinis qui in alto sonuisti, cum omnia elementa se implicuerunt in lamentabilem vocem cum tremore, quia sanguis Creatoris sui illa tetigit, ungue nos de languoribus nostris.

English translation O stream of blood which you cried on high when all the elements enfolded themselves within the voice wailing with dread, because the blood of their Creator had spattered them: anoint us against our frailty. Translation by Hugh McElroy
