12. Unanimes esse qui secula
Unanimes esse qui secula duxit ad esse
Nos iubet expresse, quia debet amor superesse;
Lex cum iure datur, pax gaudet, plebs gratulatur,
Regnum firmatur, ubi verus amor dominatur.
Sicut yemps florem, divisio quassat amorem,
Nutrit et errorem quasi pestis, agitque dolorem.
Quod precessit heri docet ista pericla timeri,
Ut discant veri sapientes secla mederi.
Filius ipse Dei, manet in quo spes requiei,
Ex meritis fidei dirigat acta rei.
Diligamus invicem.

12. To Be of One Mind He Who the Ages
To be of one mind He who the ages brought into being
Orders us expressly, because Love should be supreme;
Law and rights are observed, peace rejoices, the people are happy,
The kingdom is strong, where true Love rules.
As winter destroys the flower, so division destroys love,
And like the plague fosters error and brings on grief.
What happened yesterday teaches that such dangers are to be feared,
So that men of true wisdom can learn to heal the times.
May the Son of God himself, in whom rests our hope of repose,
From the merits of faith give direction to deeds and events.
Let us love each other.
