Original text and translations

Latin text

O beatum Pontifecem, qui totis visceribus diligebat Christum Regem, et non formidabat imperii principatum:
O Martine dulcedo, medicamentum et medice:
O sanctissima anima, quam etsi gladius persecutoris non abstulit,
Plamam tamen martyrii non amisit.

English translation

O blessed bishop who loved Christ the King with all thine inward parts and did not fear the sovereignty of the empire.
O Martin, sweetness, medicine, and physician.
O holiest soul, which if the sword of the persecutor had not taken away, nevertheless would not have lost the martyr's palm.
