An Eccho
Language: Latin 
Imbre lachrymarum largo genas spargo, quavis aurorâ,
Deus citò tu venito, nunc nunc sine mora, ora :
Hoc non valet, semper oro, semper ploro cor deficit dolendo ;
Te te amo ad te clamo, dato finem flendo endo.
Peccatorum primus ego, hoc non nego, fateor vero :
Sed tu Deus esto meus, in te solum spero, ero :
Vox pergrata satìs, satis, jam cedam fatis ; mortuus : vivam tamen :
Hic cum morior, cado orior, magnum magnum hoc solamen. Amen.

Confirmed with Thomas Fuller, D.D., The Poems and Translations in Verse, Edinburgh: Crawford and M'Cabe, 1868, Page 112.
