Dómine Pater et Deus vitae meae,
ne derelínquas me
in cogitátu malígno.
Extolléntiam oculórum meórum
ne déderis mihi,
et avérte me omne desidérium.

O Lord, Father, and God of my life,
leave me not
to the devices of the evil one.
Haughtiness of my eyes
give me not,
and turn away from me all coveting.
