... and calls upon her. The author praises her qualities - her piety, lineage, goodness, virginity, chastity and humility. He asks her to banish his spiritual poverty; to temper God's wrath towards one who has so angered him with his sins. He invokes her as the star of the sea, asking her to bring him safely to port. Dying in sin before his time, he asks her to give him life.
