Folio 124r

Devotions to the Virgin Mary, continued.

Hymn, Salve mater dolorosa, continued.



The author asks that he may be made to grieve with the Virgin and that he may share Christ's suffering. He asks that she may defend him at the day of judgement; that through Christ's death on the cross he may be protected; and that at his own death, his soul may be granted the glory of paradise.

loris
fac ut tecum lugeam.

Fac ut ardeat cor me\um
in amando Christum deum
ut sibi complaceam.\

Sancta mater istud agas
crucifixi fige plagas
cordi\ meo valide.

Tui nati vulnerati
iam dignantis\ pro me pati
penas pro me divide.

Fac me vere\ tecum flere
crucifixo condolere
donec ego vixero.

Iux\ta crucem tecum stare,
te libenter sociare
in planctu de\siderio [desidero].

Virgo virginum preclara
michi iam non sis a\mara,
fac me tecum plangere.

Fac ut portem Christi\ mortem
passionis eius sortem
et plagas recolere.\

Fac me plagis vulnerari
cruce sic inebriari
ob a\morem filii.

Inflammatus et accensus
per te virgo\ sim defensus
in die iudicii.

Fac me cruce custodi\ri
morte Christi premuniri
confoveri [gracia].

Quando corpus\ morietur
fac ut anime donetur
paradysi gloria. Amen.\

Post partum virgo inviolata permansisti.

Dei genetrix.

Prayer, Prosit nobis semper.



A prayer to God, asking that we may profit from the continual memorial of the Virgin Mary, who stood at the cross, suffering for love of him who hung upon it, and who now stands, a queen, at the right hand of her son, who reigns as lord in heaven.


Prosit nobis semper omnipotens deus continu\ata beate dei genitricis Marie memo\ria que et astitit vulnerata caritate in\ cruce pendenti et astat nunc regina a dextris in ce\lo regnanti domino nostro Ihesu Christo filio tuo. Qui tecum.\
