Non sans raison le Seigneur attribue
Beatitude ŕ qui est net de coeur:
Mais notez bien que d’en haut distribue
L’eau qui le lave ostant tache & laideur.
Ce lavement est l’esprit du Seigneur
Au sang de Christ, qui seul nous regenere,
Reforme, & fait que sommes bonne odeur
A Dieu par Christ, ce qu’autre n’eust peu faire.

Foelices merito, quibus est cor pectore mundum:
Fontibus aetheris lympha sed illa fluit,
Quae nitidos faciat: Puro nam sanguine Christi
Supremo tantum conciliamur hero.

Deservedly are they blessed whose heart is pure in his breast. But that water which makes them bright flows from heavenly fountains, for only with the supreme blood of Christ are we reconciled to the most high.
