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 thy vanities

Sunt mála quae líbas;

Evil is what thou offerest me

Ípse venéna bíbas.

Thy own poison thou shalt drink.
