Latin.png Latin text

O rubor sanguinis,
qui de excelso illo fluxisti
quod divinitas tetigit:
tu flos es
quem hyems de flatu serpentis
numquam lesit.

English.png English translation

Oh blood’s blush,
you that flowed from that Highest One,
touched by divinity:
you are the bloom
that the serpent’s frost-breath
has never blasted.

Translation by Hugh McElroy
