Presbyter in Christi mensa quid agis bene pensa: aut tibi vita datur aut mors aeterna paratur.
Translation:
Think carefully, Priest, of what you do on Christ's table: Either life is given you or eternal death is prepared.
We can also put it in verse to match the Latin:
Think you Priest with trepidationWhat you do at the ConsecrationFor given you is Life EternalOr made for you is death infernal.
