Hello, please tell me a little about yourselves...
Speaking of Latin and devils (lately), here is the lyrics to a Latin song that my choir in high school performed.
It never failed to get my heart pumping.
Daemon Irrepit Callidus -- Gyorgy Orban
Daemon irrepit callidus,
Allicit cor honoribus,
Ponit fraudes inter laudes, cantus, saltus.
Quidquid amabile Daemon dat,
Cor Jesu minus aestimat.
Caro venatur sensibus;
Sensus adhaeret dapibus;
Inescatur, impinguatur, dilatatur.
Quidquid amabile Caro dat,
Cor Jesu minus aestimat.
Adde mundorum milia,
Mille millena gaudia;
Cordis aestum non explebunt, non arcebunt.
Quidquid amabile Totum dat,
Cor Jesu minus aestimat.
The Devil speaks expertly,
Tempting the honorable heart;
He sets forth trickery amidst praise, song, and dance.
However appealing the Devil is,
It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus.
The Flesh is tempted by sensuality;
Gluttony clings to our senses;
It overgrows, it encroaches, it stretches.
However appealing the Flesh is,
It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus.
Though the Universe may confer
Thousands upon thousands of praises,
They neither fulfill nor put out the desire of the heart.
However appealing the whole Universe is,
It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus.
