Festa januaria festiva sunt festorum, vera figuralia insignia signorum. Hec luminum oblatio, hec est illuminatio qua patet declaratio rataque rerum ratio.
[Sillabatim neumata proinde perstringamus pariter organica; ornate predicamus quod reseratur janua et complanantur ardua. Cantemus nunc melliflua per festa januaria!]
___________________ The feasts of January are the festivities of all feasts, true symbols and the most significant of signs. This offering of lights is an illumination in which there is a declaration and a true understanding of things.
[Let us therefore join musical phrases together, syllable by syllable, all of them equally polyphonic; we proclaim in an ornamented fashion that the door is unbarred and that the steep places have been levelled. Let us therefore sing honeyed things throughout the feasts of January!]
