An Eccho
Language: Latin
Imbre lachrymarum largo Genas spargo, quarvis aurorâ; Deus citò tu venito, nunc nunc sine morâ, Ora: Hoc non valet, semper oro, semper ploro, cor deficit dolendo; Te te ame, ad te cla mo, dato sinem slendo Endo; Peccatorum primus ego, hoc non nego; fateor vero: sed tú Dues esto mew, in te solum spero, ero: vox pergrata satìs, satìs, jam cedam fatis; mortum; vivam tamen: Hìc cum morior, cælo orior, magnum hoc solamen. Amen.
