Quid commisisti, O dulcissime puer,
ut sic judicareris, O amantissime juvenis,
ut adeo tractareris?
Quod scelus tuum,
quae noxa tua,
quae causa mortis,
quae occasio tuae damnationis?

Dutch.png Dutch translation

Wat heb je misdaan, o liefste jongen
dat je zó gevonnist wordt,
o allerbeminnelijkste jongeman?

dat je het tot zover hebt laten komen?

Wat is jouw misdaad?
wat is jouw vergrijp?

Wat is de reden van jouw dood

Wat is de aanleiding van jouw verdoemenis?

Translation by Anton Hendriks, Ben Terstegge, Hanneke Pot
English.png English translation

What have you done, O sweetest boy,
That you are judged so; O most lovely youth,
That you are brought to this?
What is your offence,
What your crime,
What is the cause of your death,
What the reason for your condemnation?
