A construed Latin story told by Ambrose of Milan. In Holy Week the imperial soldiers besiege the Portian basilica. To keep his tired people from giving up, the bishop teaches them to sing in two alternating choirs a new hymn about the cock that rebukes those who deny, while outside the apse a young Arian Goth on guard learns the tune through the wall. Latin with word-by-word English gloss, then the Latin alone.
