Original text and translations

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

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
