_Abscessum Christi queruntur Discipuli._

Ille abiit, jamque o quae nos mala cunque manetis,

Sistite jam in nostras tela parata neces.

Sistite; nam quibus haec vos olim tela paratis,

Abscessu Domini jam periere sui.

_The departure of Christ lamented by the Disciples._

The Lord is gone; and now, all evils dire,

Hold back the darts which for our death you flourish:

Yea, hold them back, nor waste on us your ire,

For with our Lord's departure, lo, we perish. G.
