expiat ergo aciem fluviali docta lavacro victricem victrix, abolens baptismate labem hostilis iuguli; nec iam contenta piatum condere vaginae gladium, ne tecta rubigo occupet ablutum scabrosa sorde nitorem, catholico in templo divini fontis ad aram consecrat, aeterna splendens ubi luce coruscet.
So the conqueress deftly cleanses the conquering blade by bathing it in the stream, dipping it in to wash away the stain of blood that came from her foes throat; and, no longer content to sheathe the purified sword, lest rust unseen engross the clean, bright surface with its dirty scurf, she dedicates it by the altar of the divine spring in a Catholic temple, there to shine and flash with unfading light.
