Plange quasi virgo, plebs mea, ululate, pastores, in cinere et cilicio quia veniet dies Domini magna et amara valde. Accingite vos, sacerdotes, et plangite, ministri altaris, aspergite vos cinere. Quia veniet dies Domini magna et amara valde.
Weep like a virgin, my people, howl, keepers of the flock, covered with ashes and wearing hair-shirts, for the great and very bitter day of the Lord will come. Prepare yourselves, priests, and lament,acolytes before the altar, cover yourselves with ashes. For the great and very bitter day of the Lord will come.
