Page 138 - Eia Mater, fons amoris, me sentire vim doloris fac, ut tecum lugeam. Fac ut ardeat cor meum in amando Christum Deum ut sibi complaceam.
Page 128 - Pange, lingua, gloriosi corporis mysterium, sanguinisque pretiosi quem in mundi pretium fructus ventris generosi rex effudit gentium. Nobis datus, nobis natus ex intacta virgine, et in mundo conversatus, sparso verbi semine, sui moras incolatus miro clausit ordine.
Page 136 - Et ab hoedis me sequestra. Statuens in parte dextra. Confutatis maledictis, Flammis acribus addictis, Voca me cum benedictis. Oro supplex et acclinis, Cor contritum quasi cinis : Gere curam mei finis.
Page 134 - Tuorum fidelium. Sine Tuo numine Nihil est in homine, Nihil est innoxium. Lava quod est sordidum, Riga quod est aridum, Sana quod est saucium, Flecte quod est rigidum, Fove quod est frigidum, Rege quod est devium.
Page 136 - Ingemisco tanquam reus, culpa rubet vultus meus ; supplicanti parce, Deus. Qui Mariam absolvisti et latronem exaudisti, mihi quoque spem dedisti ; Preces meae non sunt dignae, sed tu, bonus, fac benigne, ne perenni cremer igne.
Page 100 - Mihi est propositum in taberna mori ; Vinum sit appositum morientis ori : Ut dicant, cum venerint, angelorum chori, Deus sit propitius huic potatori. Poculis accenditur animi lucerna, Cor imbutum nectare volat ad superna ; Mihi sapit dulcius vinum in taberna Quam quod aqua miscuit prssulis pincerna.
Page 107 - Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantatum est secus decursus aquarum, quod fructum suum dabit in tempore suo: Et folium ejus non defluet: et omnia quaecumque faciet.
Page 135 - Recordare, Jesu pie, Quod sum causa tuae viae, Ne me perdas illa die. Quaerens me, sedisti lassus ; Redemisti, crucem passus : Tantus labor non sit cassus.
Page 138 - Donec ego vixero. Juxta crucem tecum stare / Et me tibi sociare / In planctu desidero. Virgo virginum praeclara / Mihi jam non sis amara / Fac, me tecum plangere.
Page 135 - Dies irae, dies illa, Solvet saeclum in favilla ; Teste David cum Sibylla. Quantus tremor est futurus, Quando judex est venturus, Cuncta stricte discussurus ! Tuba mirum spargens sonum Per sepulchra regionum, Coget omnes ante thronum. Mors stupebit et natura, Cum resurget Creatura, Judicanti responsura. Liber scriptus proferetur, In quo totum continetur, Unde mundus judicetur. Judex ergo cum sedebit, Quidquid latet apparebit : Nil inultum remanebit.
