Epitaph for Cinegius



Exegit vitam florente Cinegius aevo
et laetus sancta placidae requiescit in aula.
illum nunc Felicis habet domus alma beati,
dudum per longos susceptum possidet annos,
ipseque iam placita laetatur in hospite Felix.
sic et tutus erit iuvenis sub iudice Christo,
cum tuba terribilis sonitu concusserit orbem
humanaeque animae rursum in sua vasa redibunt:
Felici merito hic sociabitur ante tribunal.
interea in gremio Abraham cum pace quiescit.


Epitaphios Cinegio



Cinegius passed from life in the flower of age
And happy rests in a sacred place of peace.
Now his is the bountiful house of blessed Felix,
Through long years it is his possession,
And his is the joy of the hospitality of Felix.
And so safe the youth before Christ's judgement,
When the terrible trumpet's blast shakes the earth
And again human souls return into their vessels,
For in Felix's favour he shall stand before the tribunal.
Until then in Abraham's lap he rests in peace.
