Text:
Clama, ne cesses, Syon filia:
Jerusalem fit Babylonia,
sub precio ponitur gracia,
sancta venduntur pro pecunia,
fons caritatis perit in prelatis,
nihil datur gratis in ecclesia!
Alleluya.

English translation:
Shout incessantly, daughters of Sion,
that Jerusalem is transformed into Babylon,
indulgences are subjected to a price,
holiness is sold for money,
the fountain of charity dries amidst the prelates,
nothing is given for free by the Church!
Alleluja.
