• Catuí Côrte-Real Suarez — In pace, in idipsum

Text and translations

The first line is from Psalm 4.9, and the second two lines are from Psalm 132.4, both in the Vulgate version.

Latin text In pace, in idipsum dormiam et requiescam. Si dedero somnum oculis meis, et palpebris meis dormitationem, dormiam et requiescam. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.

English translation In peace and into the same I shall sleep and rest. If I give slumber to my eyes and to my eyelids drowsiness, I shall sleep and rest. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
