Vade Retro
Crúx sácra sit míhi lúx,
May the holy Cross be my light
Nón dráco sit míhi dúx.
Let not the dragon be my guide
Váde rétro, Satána;
Step back, Satan
Núnquam suáde míhi vána.
Never tempt me with your vanities
Sunt mála quae líbas;
Evil is what you offer me
Ípse venéna bíbas.
Your own poison you shall drink.
