1 Stabat Mater dolorosa Iuxta crucem lacrimosa dum pendebat Filius. 2. Cuius animam gementem, contristatam et dolentem, pertransivit gladius. 3. O quam tristis et afflicta fuit illa benedicta Mater Unigeniti. 4. Quæ mœrebat et dolebat, Pia Mater cum videbat Nati pœnas incliti. 5. Quis est homo qui non fleret, Matrem Christi si videret in tanto supplicio? 6. Quis non posset contristari, Christi Matrem contemplari dolentem cum Filio? 7. Pro peccatis suæ gentis vidit Iesum in tormentis et flagellis subditum. 8. Vidit suum dulcem natum moriendo desolatum, dum emisit spiritum. 9. Eia Mater, fons amoris, me sentire vim doloris fac, ut tecum lugeam. 10. Fac ut ardeat cor meum in amando Christum Deum, ut sibi complaceam. 11. Sancta Mater, istud agas, Crucifixi fige plagas cordi meo valide. 12. Tui nati vulnerati, tam dignati pro me pati, pœnas mecum divide. 13. Fac me vere tecum flere, Crucifixo condolere, donec ego vixero. 14. Iuxta crucem tecum stare, et me tibi sociare in planctu desidero. 15. Virgo virginum præclara, mihi iam non sis amara: fac me tecum plangere. 16. Fac ut portem Christi mortem, passionis fac consortem, et plagas recolere. 17. Fac me plagis vulnerari, fac me cruce inebriari, et cruore Filii. 18. Flammis ne urar succensus per te Virgo, sim defensus in die judicii. 19. Christe, cum sit hinc exire, da per Matrem me venire ad palmam victoriae. 20. Quando corpus morietur, fac ut animæ donetur Paradisi gloria. Amen
