Original text and translations

Latin text Quóties diem illum consídero,  toto péctore contremísco. Sive cómedo, sive enim bibo,  semper mihi vidétur illa tuba terríbilis  sonáre in aúribus meis. Súrgite, mórtui, veníte ad judícium!

English translation Whenever I think of that day [of judgment],  I tremble in my whole body. Whether I am eating or drinking,  it always seems to me as if that dreadful trumpet  is ringing in my ears. Arise, ye dead, and come to judgment!
