Maria plena virtute: IV. Mater dolorosa

Mater dolorosa plena lacrimosa [Mother of sorrows, full of tears]

Videns ruinosa filium in cruce [Shattered, seeing your son on the cross]

Cum voce raucosa dixit speciosa [In a hoarse voice he said splendid things]

Mulier clamorosa filium tuum ecce. [Weeping woman, behold your son]

Vertens ad discipulum, sic fuit mandatum [Turning to the disciple, this was his command]

Matrem fuisse per spatium, et ipsam consolare [His mother she would become, and her he would comfort]

Et sicut decebat filium [And thus it was fitting that the son]

Servum paratissimum custodivit preceptum [Servant was most ready to preserve the rule]

Omnino servire [Of serving all]
