Deo et sanctae Mariae
Et tibi, o martyr pie.
Tu Mediolanus civis
Hanc pestilentiam si vis,
Potes facere cessare
Et ad deum impetrare,
Quia multis est scitum,
Quod de hoc habes meritum.

to God and to holy Mary
and to you, holy martyr.
You, citizen of Milan,
can make this plague
cease if you wish
and can ask God
because it is known to many
what merits you have in this matter.

Zoe mutam tu sanasti
Et sanatam restaurasti
Nicostrato eius viro,
Hoc faciens modo miro
In agone consolabas
Martyres et promitebas
Eis sempiternam vitam
Et martyribus debitam.

You healed the dumb Zoe
and you restored her, healed,
to her husband Nicostratus.
Doing this in a wonderful way
you comforted martyrs in
their agony and promised
well-deserved eternal life
to those martyrs.

Motetus
O martyr Sebastiane,
Tu semper nobiscum mane
Atque per tua merita
Nos, qui sumus in hac vita,
Custodi, sana et rege
Et a peste nos protege
Praesentans nos trinitati
Et virgini sanctae matri
Et sic vitam finiamus,
Quod mercedam habeamus
Et martyrum Consrtium
Et deum videre pium.
Motetus
O martyr Sebastian,
always stay with us
and through your merits guard us
who are in this life,
heal and guide
and protect us from the plague,
offering us to the trinity
and to the holy virgin mother,
and thus may we end our life,
let us have this as payment:
to see the fellowship of martyrs
and our holy God.

O quam mira refulsit gratia
Sebastianus martyr inclitus
Qui militis portans insignia,
Sed de fratrum palma solicitus
Confortavit Corda palentia
Verbo sibi collato coelitus.
Contratenor
O with what wonderful grace
shines the famous martyr Sebastian
who, carrying the insignia of a soldier
but concerned about the palm of victory of his brothers,
comforted the fearful hearts,
with the heavenly word addressed to him.
