2. Ad Laudes
|
{373}
POMPÂ relictâ sæculi, |
|
Philippus antra martyrum |
|
Noctu celebrat et die, |
|
Pro Christo anhelans emori. |
Frustra! cruentans ungula |
| Clavique non manent tibi, |
| Sed martyri genus novum |
| Nova emeretur charitas. |
En ipse tortoris vices |
| Almus subit Paraclitus, |
| Et gestientis victimæ |
| Transverberat præcordia. |
O cor beatum vulnere, |
| Plagâ æstuans septemplici, |
| Te dulcis Hospes occupat |
| Mirisque rimatur modis. {374} |
O cor, Joannis æmule! |
| Jesu sacrum cor exprimens! |
| Te Concremator Spiritus |
| Nobis in exemplum edidit. |
Te deprecamur supplices, |
| Proles et hæredes tui, |
| Nos in figuram da patris |
| Amoris esse martyres. |
Æterna laus et gloria |
| Patri sit atque Filio, |
| Et igneis Paracliti |
| Virtutibus per sæcula. Amen. |
