Dies irae, dies illa Solvet saeclum in favilla, Teste David cum Sibylla. Quantus tremor est futurus, Quando judex est venturus, Cuncta stricte discussurus! . .
This day, this day of wrath shall consume the world in ashes, as foretold by David and the Sibyl. What trembling there will be When the judge shall come to weigh everything strictly!
