Appendix I.
Carmina Ecclesiastica
|
{371}
In honorem Sancti Philippi Nerii, Patris mei. |
1. Ad Vesperas
|
|
FREQUENTAT antra rupium |
|
Domosque subterraneas, |
|
Ubi prisca gens fidelium |
| Quievit in Deo suo,— |
Ubi martyrum vis ignea |
| Adhuc in ossibus viget,— |
| Amoris inde spiritum |
| Philippus hausurus sibi. |
Nec mortuorum supplicem |
| Fefellit intercessio, |
| Neque juvenili pectori |
| Non rite respondet Deus. {372} |
Nam lucido tandem globo, |
| Festis diebus in suis, |
| Clientis in sinum memor |
| Illabitur Paraclitus. |
Et tecta dum mortalia |
| Vehemens subit Divinitas, |
| Confringit ardescens latus, |
| Et cordium compaginem. |
Exinde, tanto debile |
| Jam corpus impar muneri, |
| Et martyr et miraculum |
| Amoris elanguet rogo. |
Ęterna laus et gloria |
| Patri sit atque Filio, |
| Et igneis Paracliti |
| Virtutibus per sęcula. Amen. |
