English translation Doorkeeper of heaven, And teacher of the world, Judges of the age, True light of the world, The one through his cross, The other by his triumphant sword, Possess the crown of life.

German translation Der Türwächter des Himmels (Petrus), sowie der Lehrer des Erdkreises (Paulus): Rechtsprecher dieser Zeit (sind sie), wahre Lichter der Welt. Durch das Kreuz hat der eine, der andere durch das Schwert triumphiert, den Rat des Lebens besetzen sie als Lorbeer-Bekränzte. (Nach der Legende starb Petrus auf einem umgedrehten Kreuz und Paulus durch Enthauptung mit dem Schwert als Märtyrer unter Kaiser Nero)
