Original text and translations

Latin text

Hoc tegitur sacro quisnam velamine?
Christus, quid fugitiva Ceres,
de pane facta caro est
quor sum haec tam grandis nata est mutatio rerum,
esset ut humanus esca superna cibus,
Cur ita divini in monimentum
et pignus amoris
hisque homo retribuet munus amantis amor:
Felices ergo quorum de vulnere Christi
dulcia fit sanguis pocula, membra da pes.
