Original text and translations

Latin text Prima pars Signum crucis mirabile Olim per orbem renitens In quo pependit innocens Christus redemptor omnium. Secunda pars Haec arbor est sublimior Cedris quas habet Libanus Quae poma nescit noxia Sed ferae vitae praemia.

English translation First part Miraculous sign of the cross, on which Christ, innocent, the redeemer of all, hung, struggling for the sake of the world. Second part This trunk of wood is more sublime than the cedars of Lebanon: it bears no poisonous fruit but the reward of life. Translation by Mick Swithinbank
