R. Amo Christum, in cujus thálamum introíbo, cujus mater virgo est, cujus pater feminam nescit, cujus mihi órgana modulátis vócibus cantant: * Quem cum amávero, casta sum; cum tetígero, munda sum; cum accépero, virgo sum.
V. Anulo fidei suæ subarrhávit me, et imménsis monílibus ornávit me. R. Quem cum amávero, casta sum; cum tetígero, munda sum; cum accépero, virgo sum. |
R. Christ is my Lover, and I am entering with Him into the marriagechamber. His Mother is a Virgin, and His Father knoweth not a woman. The instruments of His music sound sweetly together in my ears.* If I love Him I shall be chaste, if I touch Him I shall be clean, if I embrace Him I shall be a virgin indeed.
V. He hath espoused me with a betrothal ring, and adorned me with a necklace of great price. R. If I love Him I shall be chaste, if I touch Him I shall be clean, if I embrace Him I shall be a virgin indeed. |
