Vergine bella che di sol vestita	A
	-
TO THE VIRGIN MARY	B
	-
	-
Beautiful Virgin clothed with the sun	C
Crown'd with the stars who so the Eternal Sun	C
Well pleasedst that in thine his light he hid	A
Love pricks me on to utter speech of thee	B
And feeble to commence without thy aid	A
Of Him who on thy bosom rests in love	D
Her I invoke who gracious still replies	E
To all who ask in faith	F
Virgin if ever yet	A
The misery of man and mortal things	G
To mercy moved thee to my prayer incline	H
Help me in this my strife	I
Though I am but of dust and thou heaven's radiant Queen	J
	-
Wise Virgin of that lovely number one	C
Of Virgins blest and wise	E
Even the first and with the brightest lamp	K
O solid buckler of afflicted hearts	L
'Neath which against the blows of Fate and Death	M
Not mere deliverance but great victory is	N
Relief from the blind ardour which consumes	O
Vain mortals here below	P
Virgin those lustrous eyes	E
Which tearfully beheld the cruel prints	Q
In the fair limbs of thy beloved Son	C
Ah turn on my sad doubt	A
Who friendless helpless thus for counsel come to thee	B
	-
O Virgin pure and perfect in each part	A
Maiden or Mother from thy honour'd birth	R
This life to lighten and the next adorn	S
O bright and lofty gate of open'd heaven	C
By thee thy Son and His the Almighty Sire	T
In our worst need to save us came below	P
And from amid all other earthly seats	U
Thou only wert elect	A
Virgin supremely blest	A
The tears of Eve who turnedst into joy	V
Make me thou canst yet worthy of his grace	W
O happy without end	A
Who art in highest heaven a saint immortal shrined	A
	-
O holy Virgin full of every good	A
Who in humility most deep and true	X
To heaven art mounted thence my prayers to hear	Y
That fountain thou of pity didst produce	Z
That sun of justice light which calms and clears	A2
Our age else clogg'd with errors dark and foul	B2
Three sweet and precious names in thee combine	H
Of mother daughter wife	I
Virgin with glory crown'd	A
Queen of that King who has unloosed our bonds	C2
And free and happy made the world again	D2
By whose most sacred wounds	E2
I pray my heart to fix where true joys only are	F2
	-
Virgin of all unparallel'd alone	G2
Who with thy beauties hast enamour'd Heaven	C
Whose like has never been nor e'er shall be	B
For holy thoughts with chaste and pious acts	H2
To the true God a sacred living shrine	H
In thy fecund virginity have made	A
By thee dear Mary yet my life may be	B
Happy if to thy prayers	I2
O Virgin meek and mild	A
Where sin abounded grace shall more abound	A
With bended knee and broken heart I pray	J2
That thou my guide wouldst be	B
And to such prosperous end direct my faltering way	J2
	-
Bright Virgin and immutable as bright	A
O'er life's tempestuous ocean the sure star	F2
Each trusting mariner that truly guides	K2
Look down and see amid this dreadful storm	L2
How I am tost at random and alone	G2
And how already my last shriek is near	M2
Yet still in thee sinful although and vile	N2
My soul keeps all her trust	A
Virgin I thee implore	O2
Let not thy foe have triumph in my fall	P2
Remember that our sin made God himself	Q2
To free us from its chain	R2
Within thy virgin womb our image on Him take	S2
	-
Virgin what tears already have I shed	A
Cherish'd what dreams and breathed what prayers in vain	R2
But for my own worse penance and sure loss	T2
Since first on Arno's shore I saw the light	A
Till now whate'er I sought wherever turn'd	A
My life has pass'd in torment and in tears	I2
For mortal loveliness in air act speech	U2
Has seized and soil'd my soul	V2
O Virgin pure and good	A
Delay not till I reach my life's last year	M2
Swifter than shaft and shuttle are my days	W2
'Mid misery and sin	X2
Have vanish'd all and now Death only is behind	A
	-
Virgin She now is dust who living held	A
My heart in grief and plunged it since in gloom	Y2
She knew not of my many ills this one	C
And had she known what since befell me still	Z2
Had been the same for every other wish	A3
Was death to me and ill renown for her	T
But Queen of Heaven our Goddess if to thee	B
Such homage be not sin	X2
Virgin of matchless mind	A
Thou knowest now the whole and that which else	B3
No other can is nought to thy great power	T
Deign then my grief to end	A
Thus honour shall be thine and safe my peace at last	A
	-
Virgin in whom I fix my every hope	C3
Who canst and will'st assist me in great need	A
Forsake me not in this my worst extreme	D3
Regard not me but Him who made me thus	E3
Let his high image stamp'd on my poor worth	R
Towards one so low and lost thy pity move	F3
Medusa spells have made me as a rock	G3
Distilling a vain flood	A
Virgin my harass'd heart	A
With pure and pious tears do thou fulfil	Z2
That its last sigh at least may be devout	A
And free from earthly taint	A
As was my earliest vow ere madness fill'd my veins	H3
	-
Virgin benevolent and foe of pride	A
Ah let the love of our one Author win	X2
Some mercy for a contrite humble heart	A
For if her poor frail mortal dust I loved	A
With loyalty so wonderful and long	I3
Much more my faith and gratitude for thee	B
From this my present sad and sunken state	A
If by thy help I rise	E
Virgin to thy dear name	J3
I consecrate and cleanse my thoughts speech pen	D2
My mind and heart with all its tears and sighs	E
Point then that better path	K3
And with complacence view my changed desires at last	A
	-
The day must come nor distant far its date	A
Time flies so swift and sure	L3
O peerless and alone	G2
When death my heart now conscience struck shall seize	M3
Commend me Virgin then to thy dear Son	C
True God and Very Man	N3
That my last sigh in peace may in his arms be breathed	A
