Theorema de sacramentorum nucleo

Golden Matuta Goddess of the early morning, who gave us this man,
The pillar of the Rauraci The people of the Basel region, and a sacred Minister,
As we see, a rival of the great Bishop of Hippo St. Augustine, and a competitor of the great Ambrose,
GRYNAEUS, twenty-three years younger,
Whom royal BASEL hears,
Where he holds the citadel by debating,
Returning unconquered from the difficult wrestling-school:
A most skillful craftsman at solving riddles and Gordian knots. His enemies
(Whom he has, though he would prefer to have them as brothers)
Have perceived this. Let the perpetrator feel the sting,
And let the Father truly gape. Indeed, let him cease.
From warring with fate and litigating.

May the most happy Light arise for GRYNAEUS,
And may it dawn most beautifully for STURM,
Whom Germany, the Gauls, the Britons,
The Cimbri, the Pannonians, and the Sarmatians
Admire, love, honor, and revere.
If anyone wishes ill to these men, I shall utter curses against them.
I ask that it be permitted for the Rhenish Camenae Muses of the Rhine
That Jupiter might cause the Calends to rise for him,
Just as the Calends were fatal to the great Pompey,
He wills it, just as the Ides were for Julius.
As he is unwilling to wish evil, and he ordains it.

Finally, O golden, good, blessed ones,
O you pair of noble men,
Whom you have brought forth in our age, not without the favor of the Stars
And the right hand of the Divine,
Shine brightly, I pray, O CALENDS,
So that they may surpass the Phoenix in their actions through the centuries:
For the PHOENIXES of the more learned
Are here, STURM, and the other, GRYNAEUS.
And return a hundred times and a thousand times
So that it may be perpetual, O more blessed,
Bright, charming, golden Calends.
