For those curious in the Latin poem discussed in the beginning of the episode, here is the text and translation:
Plebs angelica.
Phalanx et archangelica principans turma,
Virtus Uranica
Ac potestas almiphona,
Dominantia numina divinaque subsellia,
Cherubim aetherea
Ac Seraphim ignicoma,
Vos, O Michael coeli satrapa
Gabrielque vera dans verba nuntia,
Atque Raphael vitae vernula,
Transferte nos in Paradisicolas. (MS Martial of Limoges, 10th cent.)
Angelic host,
Phalanx and squadron of the Prince-Archangels,
Uranian power,
Strength of the gracious word.
Spirits that have dominion, Cherubim,
Divine tribunal of the air,
And Seraphim with flaming hair.
And you, O Michael, Prince of Heaven,
And Gabriel, by whom the word was given.
And Raphael, born in the house of Life,
Bring us among the folk of Paradise. (trans. Helen Waddell, 1929)
