Si te uirorum exempla non prouocant, hortetur faciatque securam beata martyr Agnes, quae et aetatem uicit et tyrannum et titulum castitatis martyrio coronauit.
'If the examples of men don't move you, the blessed martyr Agnes will encourage you and make you feel secure, she who overcame both her youth and her persecutor, and crowned the name of chastity with her martyrdom.'
