Epitaph for Granddaughters

Lumine virgineo hic splendida membra quiescunt. Insigneis animo, castae velamine sancto Crinibus imposito caelum petiere sorores Innocuae vitae meritis operumque bonorum. Noxia vincentes Christo medicante venena Invisi anguis palmam tenuere perennem, Aspide calcato sponsi virtute triumphant Letanturque simul pacata in secula missae Evictis carnis vitiis, saevoque dracone Obluctante diu subegunt durissima bella. Nam cunctis exuta malis hic corpora condunt. Tantus amor tenuit semper sub luce sacratas, Iungeret ut tumulo sanctarum membra sororum. Alvus quas matris mundo emiserat una, Ad caelum pariter mittet domus una sepulcri. Mirifico genetrix fetu, quae quattor agnas Protulit electas, claris quae quattor astris Emicuit castoque choro comitante Maria Letatur gradiens germanis septa puellis. Ingressae templum domini venerabile munus Accepient, duros quoniam vicere labores, Floribus et variis operum gemmisque nitentes Lucis perpetuae magno potientur honore. Adventum sponsi nunc praestolantur ovantes Veste sacra comptae, oleo durante beatae. Immortale decus numerosa prole parentes Aeterno regi fidei pietate sacrarunt. nomina sanctarum lector is forte requiris, ex omni versu te littera prima docebit. hunc posuit neptes titulum Taurina sacrata.

Limbs splendid here in virginal splendor rest. In souls noble, on hair rest Chaste veils, sisters who sought heaven In innocent life's merits and good works. Noxious poison of the hated snake conquering, In the healing of Christ they sought the deathless palm, A serpent trampled, the groom's virtue triumphant. Let these sent together into the age rejoice, Evicting faults of flesh and dragon's ferocity Overcome through hard and long battles, No evil's stay permitting, here their bodies they brought. These consecrated ones had such love always so that In one tomb are the bodies of sacred sisters. A single mother's womb sent them into the world, A single tomb sends them to heaven together. Marvellous how a fertile mother four elect lambs Produced, these four bright stars, Eminent Maria who in the chaste chorus is gathered. Let her rejoice walking with her begotten offspring, Let them enter the Lord's Temple with venerable gifts, All acceptable, for with hard labour they were won, Flowers and various gems shining are their deeds, Let them obtain great honour in the eternal light. Advent of the groom they now await to celebrate Vestments sacred their garb, with blessed oil anointed. Immortal offspring, glory of parents, All dedicated to the eternal king with faith and piety. If, reader, you seek the names of these blessed ones, Learn it from the first letter of every line. The consecrated Taurina made this for granddaughters. Epitaph for Granddaughters
