Latin Text Selections

The Latin:

Conuértere, Dómine, et éripe ánimam meam ;
sáluum me fac propter misericórdiam tuam.
Quóniam non est in morte qui memor sit tui ;
in inférno autem quis confitébitur tibi ?
The English (Douay-Rheims):

Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy’s sake. For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell?

The Latin:

VRSNSMV: Vade retro, Satanas. Numquam suade mihi uanas.

The English:

Begone, Satan. Do not tempt me with vanities.
