lyrics

Elegantissima haecce solis, planetarum et cometarum compages non nisi consilio
Et dominio entis intelligentis et potentis oriri potuit.
Et si Stellae fixae sint centra similium systematum,
Haec omnia simili consilio constructa suberunt Unius dominio:
Praesertim cum lux fixarum sit ejusdem naturae ac lux solis,
Et systemata omnia lucem in omnia invicem immittant.

Et ne fixarum systemata per gravitatem suam in se mutuo cadant,
Hic eadem immensam ad invicem distantiam posuerit.

Dominatio entis spiritualis deum consituit,
Vera verum, summa summum, ficta fictum.

Et ex dominatione vera sequitur deum verum esse vivum,
Intelligentem et potentem;
Ex reliquis perfectionibus summum esse,
Vel summe perfectum.

Aeternus est et infinitus, omnipotens et omnisciens,
Id est, durat ad aeterno in aeternum,
Et adest ab infinito in infinitum:
Omnia regit; et ominia cognoscit,
Quae fiunt aut fieri possunt.


The most elegant system of the sun, planets, and comets could not have arisen without the design and dominion of an intelligent and powerful being. And if the fixed stars are the centers of similar systems, they will all be constructed according to a similar design and subject to the dominion of One, especially since the light of the fixed stars is of the same nature as the light of the sun, and all the systems send lights into all the others. And so that the systems of the fixed stars will not fall upon one another as a result of gravity, he has placed them at immense distances from one another.

The lordship of a spiritual being constitutes a god, a true lordship constitutes a true god, a supreme lordship a supreme god, an imaginary lordship an imaginary god. And from true lordship it follows that the true God is living, intelligent, and powerful; from the other perfections, that he is supreme, or supremely perfect. He is eternal and infinite, omnipresent and omniscient, that is, he endures from eternity to eternity, and he is present from infinity to infinity; he rules all things, and he knows all things that happen or can happen.
