Original Text :	Adversusque Deum vertentes arma furoris, Ecclesiam invadunt, avellunt aurea mensis Omamenta sacris, tabulas capsasque rescindunt Atque sacerdotes sua munia iam celebrantes, Vestibus abscissis, audent obtundere pugnis Auratasque cruces manibus lacerare cruentis Et defunctorum violare sepulchra, reiectis Ossibus; intactum nullum liquere furorem, Flammarumque globos iactant ad culmina templi; Venti dant vires flammis, furit aestus ad auras, Aequaturque solo regalis machina tota.
