- Hic(ait)est Deus, ille Deus, fero ab hoste redemptũ
Qui genus Israel, rubei per gurgitis aequor
Duxit, in obsequium sese findentibus vndis
Inque locum Pharium fluctu coëunte Tyrannum
Et currus, et equos, et bellatricia mersit
Agmina, et iniusti fregit molimina Regis.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
