Original text and translations

Latin.png Latin text

Beatus Laurentius, dum in craticula superpositus ureretur,
ad impiissimum tyrannum dixit:
Assatum est, jam versa et manduca:
nam facultates Ecclesiae, quas requiris,
in caelestes thesauros manus pauperum deportaverunt.
 

English.png English translation

Blessed Lawrence, while burning on the grid-iron,
said to the impious tyrant:
"It is now broiled; turn and eat;
the riches of the Church, which you demand,
have been carried into the heavenly treasury by the hands of the poor."
