Beate martyr, prospera
diem triumphalem tuum
quo sanguinis merces tibi
corona, Vincenti, datur.
5 Hic te ex tenebris saeculi
tortore victo et iudice
euexit ad caelum dies
Christoque ouantem reddidit.
'Blessed martyr, prosper the day of thy victory, the day which marks the giving of the crown to thee, Vincent, in recompense for thy blood. This day, when you overcame torturer and judge, raised you out of this world's darkness up to heaven and delivered you in triumph to Christ.'
