Original text and translations

Latin text

Hic vir despiciens mundum,
et terrena triumphans
divitias caelo condidit
ore et manu.

English translation by Mick Swithinbank

This man, showing contempt for the world
and triumphing over earthly things,
amassed riches in heaven
through his words and deeds.
