Deus Omnia Videt
Quem nemo vidit, deus hic videt omnia solus;
Hunc res in mundo nulla latere potest.
Source: Anton Moker (1540-1605), Decalogus Metricus. Meter: Elegiac. Note that hunc in the second line refers to deus; nothing escapes his notice.
God (deus) whom no one has seen (quem nemo vidit), he alone sees all things (hic solus videt omnia); no thing in the world (nulla res in mundo) can escape his notice (potest latere hunc).
