Passio Apostolorum
"Plus solito coeunt ad gaudia: dic, amice, quid sit;
Romam per omnem cursitant ovantque."
"Festus apostolici nobis redit hie dies triumfi,
Pauli atque Petri nobilis cruore.
5 Vnus utrumque dies, pleno tamen innouatus anno,
vidit superba morte laureatum."
'The passion of the Apostles
"People are gathering more than is usual for rejoicings. Tell me, friend, what it means. All over Rome they are running about in exultation."
"Today we have the festival of the apostles' triumph coming round again, a day made famous by the blood of Paul and Peter. The same day, but recurring after a full year, saw each of them win the laurel by a splendid death".'
Text: Cunningham 1966, 379. Translation: Thomson 1953, 323.
