Tui Nati Vulnerati,

Tam dignati pro me pati, Poenas mecum divide. Fac me tecum pie flere. Crucifixo condolere, 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. Fac ut portem Christi mortem, Passionis fac consortem, Et plagas recolere. Fac me plagis vulnerari, Fac me cruce inebriari, Et cruore Filii. Flammis ne urar succensus Per te, Virgo, sim defensus In die judicii. Christe, cum sit hinc exire, Da per Matrem me venire Ad palmam victoriae. Quando corpus morietur, Fac ut animae donetur Paradisi gloria. Arnen.

O thou mother ! fount of love I Touch my spirit from above, Make my heart with thine ac- cord : Make me feel as thou hast felt ; Make my soul to glow and melt With the love of Christ my Lord.

Holy mother ! pierce me through ; In my heart each wound renew Of my Saviour crucified: Let me share with thee his pain, Who for all my sins was slain, Who for me in torments died. Let me mingle tears with thee, Mourning him who mourn'd for me, All the days that I may live : By the cross with thee to stay ; There with thee to weep and pray, Is all I ask of thee to give. Virgin of all virgins best ! Listen to my fond request : Let me share thy grief divine; Let me, to my latest breath, In my body bear the death Of that dying Son of thine. Wounded with his every wound, Steep my soul till it hath swoon’d In his very blood away ; Be to me, O Virgin, nigh, Lest in flames I burn and die, In his awful judgment-day. Christ, when thou shalt call me hence, Be thy mother my defence, Be thy cross my victory ; While my body here decays, May my soul thy goodness praise, Safe in paradise with thee. Amen
