Triumphus Amoris.

XXVI.

Sap. 4.
AMor in perpetuum coronatus triumphat in-
coinquinatorum certaminum præmium vin-
cens.

Hymn.
Dom. pass.
Pange lingua gloriosi, prælium certaminis,
Et super Crucis trophæum, dic triumphum nobilem,
Qualiter Redemptor orbis, immolatus vicerit.

Hymn.
Dom. Pass.
Vexilla Regis prodeunt
Fulget Crucis mysterium
Quo carne carnis Conditor
Suspensus est patibulo.

Quo vulneratus insuper
Mucrone diro lanceæ,
Vt nos lauaret crimine
Manauit vnda & sanguine.

Impleta sunt quæ concinit
Dauid fideli carmine,
Dieens in nationibus
Regnauit à ligno Deus.

Et nous triumpherons vn iour.

Triomphe de l'Amour.
XXVI.
Voycy qu' Amour apres tant de thophées,
Tant d'inuentions de guerres & meslées,
Triomphe vn iour, & se fait voir vainqueur;
Et les Amants qui auront volu suiure
Son estandart, pourront à iamais viure
Et posseder vn eternel bonheur.

Bien puede trunfar amor:
Pues de todas sus faënas
Sale con las manos llenas.

Alle die volghen 's liefden glans/
Sullen vercrijghen 's liefden crans.

Triumph of love.

Forever it marches crowned in triumph, victorious in unsullied deeds of valor.¹

Sing, my tongue,
the Savior's glory;
tell His triumph far and wide;
tell aloud the famous story
of His body crucified;
how upon the cross a victim,
vanquishing in death, He died.

Abroad the regal banners fly,
now shines the Cross's mystery:
upon it Life did death endure,
and yet by death did life procure.
Who, wounded with a direful spear,
did purposely to wash us clear
from stain of sin, pour out a flood
That which the prophet-king of old
hath in mysterious verse foretold,
is now accomplished, whilst we see
God ruling the nations from a Tree.
of precious water mixed with blood.²

¹

'... and forever it marches crowned in triumph, victorious in unsullied deeds of valor'. In Sap. this is said of virtue, not of love.
