In rebus mundi, quae causam dant pereundi.
Si quis amat Christum mundum non diligat istum
Sed quasi faetorem spernens illius amorem,
Aestimet obscaenum, quod mundus credit amaenum.
Totum huic vilescit iam quidquid in orbe nitescit,
Vitat terrenum decus vt mortale venenum.
Abiectoq: foris caeno carnalis amoris,
Ad regnum caeli suspirat mente fideli,
Atq: fide plena paradisi speret amaena.
Tu quoq: frater ita carnis contagia vita
Vt placeas Christo, mundo dum vivis in isto.
Nec tibi sint curae res ad nihilum rediturae.
Quae cito labuntur, multoq: labore petuntur.
Cur homo laetaris quia forsan cras moriaris?
Per nullam sortem poteris depellere mortem.
Cur caro laetaris quia vermibus esca pararis?
Hic, locus est flendi, sed ibi est peccata luendi.
Postea gaudebunt qui nunc sua crimina flebunt.
Iam non laetetur qui gaudia summa meretur.
Gaudia stultorum cumulant tormenta dolorum.
Talia prudentes fugiunt, ea despicientes.
Cur caro non spernis quae pretereuntia cernis?
Nonne vides mundum miserum, et pariter moribundum
Sub gladio dirae mortis languendo perire?
Mors resecat, mors omne necat quod in orbe creatur,
Magnificos premit et modicos, cunctis dominatur.
Nobilium tenet imperium, nullumq: veretur
Tam ducibus quam principibus communis habetur.
Mors juuenes rapit atq: senes, nulli miseretur,
Illa fremit, genus omne tremit quod in orbe mouetur
Illa ferit, caro tota perit dum sub pede mortis
Conteritur, nec eripitur vir robore fortis.
Cur igitur qui sic moritur vult magnificari?
Diuitias sibi cur nimias petit ille parari?
Instabiles sumus et fragiles, multisq: ruinis
Atterimur, dum sic trahimur sub tempore finis.
Pretereunt et non redeunt mortalia quaeque
Naec statio manet in dubio sic nocte dieque
Vita breuis velut vmbra levis sic annihilatur.
Sic vadit, subitoq: cadit dum stare putatur.
Quis redimit cum mors perimit, quia munera nunquam
Nec pretium nec seruitium mors accipit vnquam?
Sed quid plura loquar? nulli mors invida parcit,
Non euadit inops, nec qui marsupia farcit.
Non igitur cesses ea quae bona sunt operari,
Nam mors non cessat tibi nocte dieq: minari.
Amplius in rebus noli sperare caducis.
Sed cupiat tua mens aeternae gaudia lucis.
Falliter insipiens vitae praesentis amore,
Sed nouit sapiens quanto sit plena dolore
Quidquid formosum mundus gerit et speciosum.
Floris habet morem cui dat natura colorem.
Mox vt siccatur totus color annihilatur,
Postea nec florem monstrat, nec spirat odorem.
Regia majestas, omnis terrena potestas,
Prosperitas rerum, series longinqua dierum
Ibit, et absq: morâ cum mortis venerit hora.
Mundi quid sit honor ego nunc tibi scribere conor.
Nosti quippe satis quam nil ferat vtilitatis.
Praedia terrarum, possessio diuitiarum,
Fabrica murorum, grandis structura domorum,
Gloria mensarum, cum deliciis epularum,
Insignesq: thori pariterq: scyphiq: decori,
Resplendens vestis quae moribus obstat honestis,
Grex armentorum, spaciosus cultus agrorum,
Fertile vinetum diuersâ vite repletum,
Gratia natorum, dilectio dulcis eorum,
Cuncta relinquentur, nec post haec inuenientur.
Quod breuiter durat quis prudens quaerere curat?
Non metuens hominem faciet mors aspera finem
Rebus mundanis mendacibus, et malè sanis.
Causa gravis scelerum cessabit amor mulierum.
Colloquium quarum non est nisi virus amarum,
Praebens sub mellis dulcedine pocula fellis.
Nam decus illarum laqueus fallax animarum,
Cum verbis blandis mendacibus atq: nephandis
Illaqueant, stultosq: ferunt ad tartara multos.
Omnia transibunt, et gaudia vana peribunt,
Et faciunt fructum tristem per faecula luctum.
Omnibus hoc dico ne se subdent inimico.
Ne supplantentur qui subditi in his retinentur.
Noli confundi miserâ dulcedine mundi.
Nam sua dulcedo dilabitur ordine faedo.
Quae trepidas mentes et mollia quaeq: sequentes
Fallit mulcendo carnem, blandeq: fovendo.
Postea finitur, nec dulcis tunc reperitur,
Sed fit amara nimis nec adaequans vltima primis,
Et grauiter pungit miseros, quos primitus vngit.
Nam sic illusus et semper mollibus vsus.
Damnatos dignè post mortem torret in igne.
Atq: voluptatem conuertit in anxietatem,
Et fit flamma furens illos sine fine perurens.
Talia lucra ferent studiis qui talibus haerent.
Sed qui saluari vult perpetuoq: beari
Christo deuotum studeat se tradere totum
Hujus inhaerendo praeceptis, et faciendo
Quae scripturarum monstrant documenta sacrarum.
Accipiet verè qui vult haec jussa tenere
Sedibus in laetis aeternae dona quietis.
Quae cunctis dantur qui corde Deo famulantur,
Atq: ea qui spernunt quae praetereuntia cernunt
Hic est seruorum requies, et vita suorum,
Gaudia quae praestat, tribulatio nulla molestat,
Gloria solennis manet illic, paxq: perennis.
Semper honoratos facit hos Deus atq: beatos
Quos recipit secum. Sed quamuis judicet aequum,
Plura tamen dantur sanctis, quàm promereantur.
Omnia dat gratis fons diuinae pietatis,
Proq: labore breui bona confert perpetis aeui.
His qui salvantur semper bona multa parantur.
Sic mala multa malis properat mors exitialis.
Isti gaudebunt, isti sine fine dolebunt.
Nemo potest fari, nec scribere, nec meditari
Gaudia justorum, nec non tormenta malorum.
Heu malè fraudatur, vah! stultè ludificatur,
Qui propter florem mundi, vanumq: decorem,
Qui prius apparet quasi flos, et protinus aret,
Vadit ad infernum perdens diadema supernum,
Quod dominus donat cunctis, quos ipse coronat.
Errat homo verè qui cum bona possit habere,
Sponte subit paenas, infernalesq: catenas.
Huius amor mundi putei petit ima profundi,
Protinus extinctus, moritur qui mittitur intus,
Semper ad ima cadit, semper mors obuia vadit,
Nec venit ad metas mortis miserabilis aetas,
Nescit finiri, semperq: videtur oriri,
Semper vexando, semper gemitus provocando,
Ingerit ardores, infinitosq: dolores.
Sunt ibi serpentes flammas ex ore vomentes,
Fumosos dentes, et guttura torva gerentes,
A flatu quorum pereunt animae miserorum.
Sunt ibi tortores serpentibus horridiores,
Difformes, nigri, sed non ad verbera pigri,
Nunquam lassantur, sed semper ad hoc renouantur,
Et male feruentes sunt ad tormenta recentes.
Semper tristati sunt ad tormenta parati.
Semper et ardescunt, nec cessant, nec requiescunt,
Non exstirpantur nec parcunt nec miserantur,
Quàm malè damnatur, quàm fortiter excruciatur
Qui fert tantorum feritatem suppliciorum.
Quid tunc thesauri, quid acervus proderit auri,
Cum peccatores mittuntur ad inferiores
Inferni latebras, imas pariterq: tenebras,
Semper passuri, nec ab his vnquam redituri?
Tunc flens et tristis qui poenis traditur istis,
Mallet praeteritae quod in omni tempore vitae
Pauper vixisset, quam diuitias habuisset.
Stat malè securus qui protinus est moriturus.
Non bene laetatur cui paena dolorq: paratur.
Non igitur cures gazas acquirere plures,
Gazas fallaces incertas atque fugaces,
Quae magis optantur cum plenius accumulantur.
Haec faciunt mentes semper majora petentes.
Divitiae tales sunt omnibus exititiales,
Nam sibi credentes faciunt miseros, et egentes.
Post carnis vitam per blandimenta nutritam,
Expertesque boni traduntur perditioni,
Nemo tamen credat quod ab ista luce recedat,
Ignibus arsurus, vel propter opes periturus,
Si proprium servet, si divitias coacervet.
Quamvis sit rarum, poterit possessor earum.
Juste salvari, fugiat si nomen avari,
Vivat prudenter, gazas habeat sapienter,
Non abscondendo, sed egenis distribuendo.
Sed satis est notum quod plus dimittere totum
Prodest, quam temerè quae sunt nocitura tenere.
Tutius est verè mortem fugiendo cavere,
Quam prope serpentem procumbere virus habentem.
Sic est in mundo, quarè tibi consilium do
Quatenus hoc spreto te tradas pectore laeto
Servitio Christi, cui traditus ipse fuisti.
Hic tibi praebebit regnum quod fine carebit.
Huic si servieris celsis opibus potieris,
Tollere quas fures nequeunt, nec rodere mures.
Collige thesaurum qui gemmas vineat et aurum.
Quaere bonos mores, thesauros interiores.
Gazas congestas mentis praecellit honestas.
Nam miser est et erit qui mundi prospera quaerit.
Est dives vere qui non ea poscit habere,
Qui bonus est intus fidei quoq: numine tinctus,
Semper honestatis studium tenet et probitatis.
Cum bona quis tractat tunc se virtutibus aptat
Si nihil est sordis quod polluat intima cordis.
His delectatur Dominus qui cor speculatur,
Thesaurus talis preciosus spiritualis.
Comparat aeternam vitam, patriamq: supernam,
Congregat in coelis thesaurum quisq: fidelis,
Perq: bonos mores ad summos tendit honores,
Nec modo vult fieri locuples, nec major haberi.
Sed semper minimus semper despectus et imus.
Plus paupertatem cupiens quam prosperitatem,
Hancq: libens tolerat quia caeli gaudia sperat.
Pauper amabilis et venerabilis et benedictus.
Dives inutilis et miserabilis et maledictus.
Pauper laudatur cum dives vituperatur.
Qui bona negligit et mala diligit intrat abyssum,
Nulla potentia nulla pecunia liberat ipsum.
Est miserabilis insatiabilis illa vorago.
Ast ubi mergitur horrida cernitur omnis imago.
Haec cruciamina enim ob sua crimina promeruerunt,
Vir miserabilis Evaq: stebilis haec subierunt.
Jussa Dei pia quiq: salubria si tenuissent,
Vir necq: famina, nec quoq: semina morte ruissent.
Sed quia spernere jussaq: solvere non timuerunt
Mors gravis irruit, hoc merito fuit, et perierunt.
Janua mortis laesio fortis crimen eorum
Attulit orbi semina morbi totq: malorum.
Illa parentes atq: sequentes culpa peremit,
Atq: piarum deliciarum munus ademit.
Flebile fatum dans cruciatum dansq: dolorem.
Illa mereri, perdere veri regis amorem.
Tam lachrimosâ tamque perosâ morte perire.
Atq: ferorum suppliciorum claustra subire.
Est data saevam causa per Evam perditionis,
Dum meliorem sperat honorem voce Draconis.
Haec malens credens, nos quoq: laedens crimine magno
Omnia tristi subdidit isti saecula damno.
Stirps miserorum paena dolorum postea crevit.
His quoq: damnis pluribus annis subdita flevit.
Tunc Deus omnipotens qui verbo cuncta creavit.
Sic cecidisse dolens hominem, quem semper amavit,
Ipse suum verbum transmisit ad infima mundi
Exulibus miseris aperire viam redeundi.
Filius ergo Dei descendit ab arce superna.
Nunquam descendens à majestate paterna.
Qui corpus cum animâ sumens e numine salvo
Processit natus sacro de virginis alvo,
Verus homo verusq: Deus pius et miserator,
Verus Salvator nostraeq: salutis amator.
Vivendiq: volens nobis ostendere normam,
Se dedit exemplum rectamq: per omnia formam,
Insuper et multos voluit sufferre labores,
Atq: dolore suo nostros auferre dolores
Sponte sua moriens mortem moriendo peremit,
Et sic perpetua miseros à morte redemit.
Succurrens miseris mortali peste gravatis.
Quod non debebat persolvit fons pietatis.
Pondera nostra ferens penitus nos exoneravit,
Et quidquid crimen vetus abstulerat reparavit.
Nam de morte suâ redivivus uti leo fortis
Restituit vitam prostrato principe mortis.
Sic Domini pietas mundum non passa perire,
Fecit nos miseros ád gaudia prima venire.
Jam satis audisti frater quae gratia Christi
Sic nos salvavit, nostrumq: genus raparavit.
Si sapis hoc credas, nec ab hâc ratione recedas.
Sed quid lucratur credens qui non operatur?
Hic male se laedit. Male vivens non bene credit.
Crede mihi magnum facit illa fides sibi damnum,
Morteque mactatur, quia mortua jure vocatur.
Hunc facit ipsa mori sub judicio graviori
Quam si nescisset fidei quid dogma fuisset.
Quod loquor est notum retinentibus utile totum,
Frater id ausculta, veniunt tibi commoda multa
Si retinere velis, quia sic eris ipse fidelis.
Hanc per virtutem poteris sperare salutem.
Atque beatus eris si quae bona sunt opereris.
Ergo verborum semper memor esto meorum.
Cura tuae mentis semper sit in his documentis.
Si vis salvari semper studeas imitari
Vitam justorum, fugiens exempla malorum.
Illis jungaris quorum pia facta sequaris.
Elige sanctorum consortia, non reproborum.
O quam ditantur qui caelica regna lucrantur!
Sic exaltantur qui sanctis associantur,
Vivunt jocundi qui spernunt gaudia mundi,
Qui carnis miserae norunt vitium omne cavere.
Sub pedibus quorum victus jacet hostis eorum.
His dabitur verè Dominum sine fine videre,
Angelicusq: chorus divinâ laude sonorus,
Cum quibus ante Deum referunt cum laude tropaeum.
Quod tibi nunc dico si serves corde pudico
Hos inter caetus vives sine tempore laetus.
Sed miseri flebunt quia gaudia nulla videbunt.
Nunquam cum reprobis tribuatur portio nobis.
Ad paenas ibunt, et sic sine fine peribunt.
Mundus ad hanc partem per daemonis attrahit artem,
Isti haec dona ferent qui sordibus ejus adhaerent.
Sensu discreto quae sunt nocitura caveto,
Pervigili cura semper meditare futura.
Quam fera quam fortis veniet destructio mortis!
Quae via pandetur, cum spiritus egredietur!
Quid sit facturus, vel quos comites habiturus!
Quàm miser infernus, quùm nobilis ordo supernus!
Quae mala damnatis, quae sunt bona parta beatis!
Quantum gaudebunt quos gaudia summa replebunt!
Quos illustrabit quos semper laetificabit
Visio sancta Dei, splendorq: Dei faciei!
Talia quaerenti venient nova gaudia menti.
Cum studio tali dulcedine spirituali
Mens tua pascetur, si jugiter haec meditetur.
Hoc studium mentem Domino facit esse placentem.
Curas terrenas magno cruciamine plenas.
Funditus expellit, vitiorum germina vellit.
Sic terrenorum mens tacta timore dolorum.
Deserit errorem, mundiq: repellit amorem.
Postea summorum flagrescit amore bonorum.
Confert tale bonum Domini durabile donum.
Nam cum mutatur mala mens Deus hoc operatur.
Virtutum munus praestare potest Deus unus.
Qui sic servorum docet intus corda suorum.
Qui bona sectantur, vel qui purè meditantur.
Sic Dominus mores levat illos ad meliores,
Quos penitentes videt auxiliumque petentes,
Ergo fide purâ Christo te subdere cura.
Auxilio cujus fugias mala temporis hujus
Atria sunt caeli verè patefacta fideli.
Semper ibi vives divino munere dives
Si vis sincerè Domini praecepta tenere.
Christo junguntur sua qui praecepta sequuntur.
Nam decus aeternum datur his regnumque supernum.
Gloria caelestis Paradisi, caelica vestis
Hos faciet laetos, et pax aeterna quietos.
Num delectaris cum talia praemeditaris,
Ista libens audis, et ad haec pia gaudia plaudis?
Nec tamen ignores per magnos ista labores
Sanctis adquiri, nec fortuitò reperiri.
Sed quamvis gratis tribuat Deus ista beatis,
Nemo tamen segnis vitae fert dona perennis,
Ni melior factus, proprios correxerit actus.
Quem satis his dignum Dominus vult esse benignum.
Promptum ferventem non otia vana sequentem.
De regno caeli non credit mente fideli
Insipiens et hebes, sed tu bene credere debes.
Christo dicenti, rapiunt illud violenti.
Scilicet austeri, sed distinguendo severi,
Mollia spernentes, et carni vim facientes,
Semper et intenti Domino, parere jubenti.
Est caro nota satis, quod habet nihil vtilitatis.
Spiritus inde perit si corpus dulcia quaerit.
Et dum vexatur caro, Spiritus alleviatur:
Cumq: relaxatur mortaliter ille gravatur.
Omne quod ostendo potes ipse videre legendo.
Indice scripturâ poteris cognoscere plura.
Vitam quaerenti dat iter sacra lectio menti.
Accipe scriptorum frater documenta meorum,
Quae sibi monstravi, quae dulciter insinuavi.
Non ea corde gravi teneas, sed pectore suavi,
Si te virtutis delectat, iterq: salutis.
Quicquid enim scripsi multum tibi proderit ipsi.
Nam rex caelestis, quem nil latet, est mihi testis,
Nil tibi narravi nisi quod prodesse putavi.
Nec ratio veri debet tibi dura videri,
Namq: per angustum dixi tibi currere justum.
Sic probus ascendit, dum semper ad ardua tendit.
Hunc facias cursum si vis ascendere sursum.
Fortassis puero tibi frustra dicere quaero
Justum sermonem, quia non capis hanc rationem.
Sed pater immensus det perspicuos tibi sensus,
Roboret aetatem, tribuatq: tibi probitatem.
Filius ergo Dei, spes nostrae progeniei,
Autor honestatis, fons perpetuae bonitatis,
Virtutum flores, et honestos det tibi mores.
Spiritus amborum, qui tangit corda piorum,
Et sine verborum sonitu, sit doctor eorum,
Ipse tuam mentem regat, et faciat sapientem,
Recte credentem, monitus veros retinentem.
Ut bene vivendo, mandataq: sancta tenendo
Laetitiam verè lucis merearis habere.
Quae tenebras nescit, miroq: decore nitescit,
Et cuicunq: datur sine fine is laetificatur.
Hoc tibi det munus qui regnat, trinus et unus.
APPENDIX II.
THE CARMINA BURANA.
The investigations of Grimm, Schmeller, Edelestand du Meril, Thomas
Wright, and H. Hagen, together with the translations of Mr. J. A.
Symonds (“Wine, Women, and Song”), are familiarizing us with the fact
that Latin verse had other than churchly and edifying uses in the Middle
Ages. One of the most important of the mediaeval collections in this
department is a manuscript of the thirteenth century, long preserved in
the monastery of Brauburen Benedictbeure, in Bavaria, but now in
München. It was edited by J. Andreas Schmeller, in 1847, at Stuttgardt,
and his edition was reprinted at Breslau, in 1883. From it Mr. Symonds
draws most of his material for his volume of translations.
I find among Mr. Duffield’s papers some specimens of these poems of the
Bavarian collection, which I think fitted to illustrate the literary
relations of the Latin hymns, and therefore they are inserted here.
GAUDE: CUR GAUDEAS VIDE.
Iste mundus
Furibundus
Falsa praestat gaudia,
Quae defluunt
Et decurrunt
Ceu campi lilia.
Res mundana,
Vita vana
Vera tollit praemia,
Nam inpellit
Et submergit
Animas in tartara.
Quod videmus
Vel tacemus
In praesenti patria,
Dimittemus
Vel perdemus
Quasi quercus folia.
Res carnalis,
Lex mortalis
Valde transitoria,
Frangit, transit
Velut umbra,
Quae non est corporea.
Conteramus
Confringamus
Carnis desideria,
Ut cum iustis
Et electis
Celestia nos gaudia
Gratulari
Mercamur
Per aeterna secula.
Lo! this our world
To wrath is hurled,
Its joys are false and silly;
Which pass away,
And never stay,
As on the plain the lily.
This mundane strife,
This empty life,
Yet offers honors truly;
It onward drives,
And sinks our lives
In Hades most unduly.
And when we see,
Or silent be,
Wherever we are stopping,
We put it by,
Or let it fly,
As oaks their leaves are dropping.
This carnal fact,
This mortal act,
Will glide away before us;
It breaks and flakes
As darkness makes
A shadow-region o’er us.
We try in vain,
We use with pain
The pleasures which are carnal;
For with the just
And blest we must
Care more for joys supernal.
To song and praise
We give our days,
Through ages still eternal.
Exul ego clericus
Ad laborem natus
Tibulor multociens
Paupertati datus.
Literarum studiis
Vellem insudare
Nisi quod inopia
Cogit me cessare.
Ille meis tenuis
Nimis est amictus,
Saepe frigus patior
Calore relictus.
Interesse laudibus
Non possum divinis,
Nec missae nec vesperae,
Dum cantetur finis.
I’m an exile clerical,
Born to toil and troubles,
And while I am,
Poverty redoubles.
In a literary line
I should wish to travel
If a lack of wordly goods
Didn’t always cavil.
By that cloak—too thin at best—
I am scarce defended;
And I suffer cold enough
When the fire is ended.
How can I sing praises, then,
Where I may be wanted,
Staying mass and vespers out
Till the amen’s chanted?
Monachi sunt nigri
Et in regula sunt pigri
Bene cucullati
Et male coronati.
Quidam sunt cani
Et sensibus prophani,
Quidam sunt fratres,
Et verentur ut patres,
Dicuntur “Norpertini”
Et non Augustini,
In cano vestimento
Novo gaudent invento.
The monks are all black,
In their rules they’re a lazy pack;
Mightily well gowned,
And wretchedly crowned.
Some are dirty whelps,
Whose senses are no helps;
But some, indeed, are brothers,
Like fathers are some others.
They are called Norpertines
And not Augustines;
In raiment of white,
In new things they delight.
APPENDIX III.
In the account of the _Dies Irae_, on page 250, there is a reference to
the following poem by Jsu-Justus Kerner, the Swabian poet and mystic,
which I find translated among Mr. Duffield’s papers:
THE FOUR CRAZED BROTHERS.
Shrivelled into corpselike thinness
Four within the madhouse sit;
From their pallid lips no sentence
Tells of either sense or wit.
Starkly there they face each other,
Each more gloomy than his brother.
Hark! the hour of midnight striking
Lifts their very hair with fright;
Then at last their lips are open,
Then they chant with muffled might:
_Dies irae, dies illa,_
_Solvet saeclum in favilla!_
Once they were four evil brothers,
Drunk and clamorous withal,
Who with lewd and ribald ditties
Through the holy night would brawl,
Heeding not their father’s warning,
Even friend’s remonstrance scorning.
Gape their mouths for very horror,
But no word will issue thence;
God’s eternal vengeance strikes them,
Chilled they stand without defence;
White their hair and pale their faces,
Madness every mind erases!
Then the old man, dying, turned him
To his wicked sons, and said:
Doth not that cold form affright you
Which shall lead us to the dead?
_Dies irae, dies illa,_
_Solvet saeclum in favilla!_
Thus he spoke and thence departed,
But it moved them not at all;
Though he passed to peace unending,
While for them should justice call,
As their lives to strife were given,
Near to hell and far from heaven.
Thus they lived and thus they revelled,
Until many a year had fled;
Others’ sorrow cost them nothing,
Blanched no hair upon the head;
Jolly brothers! they were able
To hold God and sin a fable!
But at last, as midnight found them
Drunkly reeling from the feast,
Hark! the song of saints was lifted
Through the church, and high increased;
“Cease your barking, hounds!” they shouted,
As with Satan’s mouth undoubted.
Then they rushed, those wicked brothers,
Roughly through the holy door;
But, as though at final judgment,
Down they heard that chorus pour.
FOOTNOTES
[1]Of course the champions of papal infallibility are at great pains to
deny this. But all the contemporary writers, such as Athanasius,
Hilary, and Jerome, assert it, and against it there is nothing but _a
priori_ assumptions and the assertion that the third Sirmian formula
signed by Liberius has been mistaken for the first, which was Arian.
In Dr. Newman’s _Arians of the Fourth Century_, pp. 433-40, there is
a careful account of the three Sirmian formulas. The main fact never
was denied until the necessities of the infallibility theory
compelled the rewriting of history. Even the old Roman Breviary
declares that “Liberius assented to the Arian mischief.”
[2]See Dr. Dollinger’s _Fables respecting the Popes in the Middle Ages_
(New York, 1872), pp. 183-209. In 1582 Gregory XIII. was on the point
of expunging his name from the Roman Martyrology, as Baronius had
proven that he was neither a pope nor a martyr, but had died
peaceably on his own estate near Rome. But the discovery of a stone
with an inscription asserting his martyrdom turned the scale the
other way. Modern scholarship stigmatizes the inscription as a fraud,
and it is notable that the stone has disappeared.

[5]This is a passage not discernible in the Psalms. Justin Martyr says
that the Jews expunged it. Tertullian (_Contra Marcion_, III.)
mentions it—and in two other places. Daniel, _Thesaurus_, I.: 162,
has a learned note on the subject.
[6]The same story, but not so well related, is in the life by Paul of
Monte Cassino and is repeated in Bede (Hist. Angl. Lib. II. cap. 1).
John’s Latin is a trifle cumbrous, but this is the literal
translation of it.

language is worth quoting as it stands. He is speaking of Hermann.

[10]His _Varia de Corrupto Statu Ecclesiae Poemata_ was reprinted in
1754, but even this is very scarce. There was an earlier publication
of his of the same nature, _Carmina Vetusta_ (1548), but whether it
contained Bernard, I cannot say. Flacius was an unwearied searcher of
the libraries of Europe for material to use on the Lutheran side of
the great controversy.
The poem was then reprinted at least six times: “by David Chytraeus
at Bremen, 1597; at Rostock, 1610; at Leipzig, 1626; by Eilhard
Lubinus, at Lunenburg, 1640; in Wachler’s _New Theological Annals_,
December, 1820; and in G. Ch. F. Mohnike’s _Studien_ (Stralsund,
1824) I., 18.” Yet it had become so scarce that when I made my
version of Dr. Trench’s cento, I could not find a complete copy in
America. Since then I have received a copy of the edition of 1640
from a friend. Also the Boston Public Library has secured a copy of
the _Varia Poemata_, which was once Theodore Parker’s, and bears the
inscription, “A rare and curious book. T. P.”
The English translations are: (1) Dr. Trench has rendered a few lines
in the metre of the original. (2) Dr. John M. Neale’s “Rhythm of
Bernard of Morlaix” (1858). (3) Judge Noyes in the “Seven Great Hymns
of the Latin Church.” (4) Dr. Abraham Coles. (5) “The Heavenly Land,
from the _De Contemptu Mundi_ of Bernard of Morlaix, rendered into
corresponding English Verse,” by S. W. Duffield (1867). (6) A
privately printed translation by “O. A. M.,” of Cherry Valley, N. Y.
(Albany, 1867). (7) Gerard Moultrie in _Lyra Mystica_ (1869). (8)
Rev. Jackson Mason (London, 1880). Besides this, an English clergyman
has perpetrated the folly of rendering Dr. Neale’s paraphrase into
Horatian Latin verse, which would puzzle Bernard himself to recognize
as derived from him.

[14]There is a serious difficulty connected with the chronology of his
history, which I have not been able to overcome. Unfortunately this
greatest of Catholic dogmatists never seems to have inspired enough
of personal interest in any disciple or contemporary to lead to the
preparation of a biography of him. So the earliest in existence were
written long after his death, when the Neapolitans asked for his
canonization. And a comparison of their statements with those of
contemporary chronicles, like that of Richard of San Germano, does
not inspire confidence in their veracity.
The second papal war broke out in 1239. Both the orders of friars,
Dominicans and Franciscans, were believed to be partisans of the
Pope, and in 1239 such as were not natives of the kingdom were
commanded to leave it. Richard of San Germano mentions this order
_sub anno_ 1239, and adds, _sub anno_ 1240, that by November of the
latter year all the Mendicants, except two of each monastery and
those natives of the kingdom, had been expelled by order of the
Emperor. What Dominicans were there left in Naples to win the
affections of Thomas and receive him into the novitiate? The
difficulty would be met by assuming 1225 as the date of Thomas’s
birth, and his stay at Monte Casino as terminating with his tenth
year, so that he might have been at Naples in 1235 and formed the
purpose to enter the order in 1239. Or if he went to Naples in his
twelfth year (1237), he might have become a Dominican novice after
two years of study under professors of that order. It is true that
novices were not to be received before their fifteenth year; but at
any date after March of 1239 Thomas would be in his fifteenth year.
It was March 24th of that year that saw the Emperor excommunicated,
and some interval would elapse before the expulsion of the
Mendicants.

W. Benham, B.D., Vicar of Margate. London, 1874. It is to be
regretted that the author of this, the best English version, speaks
of the ascription of the _Imitation_ to Thomas à Kempis as “a
mistake,” and ascribes it to John Gersen, Abbot of Vercelli, in
Italy, who never existed.

of a single copy manufactured at Paris in 1679 for the library of the
great Colbert (_Breviarium Colbertinum_).
[21]_Hymni Sacri_, Paris, 1685 and 1694. A second series in 1698. The
two collections together in 1723. They are included in the editions
of his works which appeared in 1698 and 1729, but not in that of
1694. Between sixty and seventy of them will be found in J. H.
Newman’s _Hymni Ecclesiae_, Part First (London, 1838 and 1865), but
without the author’s name. As Newman omits the hymns in honor of the
saints not mentioned in the Scriptures, the fine hymns to St.
Bernard, St. Augustine, and St. Judocus are not included. There are
French translations by Abbé Saurin, 1691 (third edition, 1698), and
by J. P. C. D., in 1760. For English translations see especially Rev.
Isaac Williams’s _Hymns of the Parisian Breviary_ (1839), and J. D.
Chambers’s _Lauda Syon_ (1857), and the _Lyra Messianica_ (1864).
[22]See note on Luke 2:14 in the second volume of Westcott and Hort’s

[23]The _Te Deum_ has it,
5. _Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus Sabaoth,_
6. _Pleni sunt coeli et terra majestatis gloriae tuae._
In the Vulgate, Isaiah 6, it reads,
_Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus exercitum,_
_Plena est omnis terra gloriae ejus._
The Septuagint, from which the older Latin version was made, retained
the Hebrew word _Sabaoth_, instead of translating it. Verse 6 is an
expansion of the Scripture text.
[24]_Die Kirchweih-Hymnen: Christe Cunctorum dominator alme. Urbs beata
Hirusalem_. 4to. Halle, 1867.
[25]From _Mostarab_ (participle of the Arabic verb _Estarab_), Arabized,
conformed to Arabic modes of life. A misnomer in this case. It is the
old Spanish liturgy as arranged by Isidore of Seville, and long
upheld by the Spanish clergy against the attempt to introduce that of
Rome. The Missal and Breviary were first published by Cardinal
Ximenes in 1500; then carefully edited by Alexander Lesley, a
Scottish Jesuit (Rome, 1755). His edition, with its learned
apparatus, is reprinted in Volumes LXXXI.-II. of Abbé Migne’s
_Patrologia Latina_.
[26]_A Critical History of the Doctrine of Justification and
Reconciliation._ By Albrecht Ritschl, Professor Ordinarius of
Theology in the University of Göttingen. Edinburgh, 1872. Professor
Ritschl sustains his view of the devotional Protestantism of the
Roman Catholic Church by a passage from the Missal, in which God is
invoked as _non aestimator meriti, sed veniae largitor_, and by the
remarkable exhortation to the dying prescribed for the use of her
priests. He also quotes six passages from the mediaeval hymns edited
by George Cassander.
[27]See _Private Prayers put Forth by Authority During the Reign of
Queen Elizabeth_. Edited for the Parker Society by Rev. William K.
Clay, B.D. Cambridge, 1851. It contains the English _Primer_ and the
Latin _Orarium_, and also the _Preces Privatae_ of 1564. This last
omits four of the eight hymns previously authorized and substitutes
another. It also contains an appendix of Latin sacred poetry by
writers of that century. Besides nine fine hymns by Marc-Antonio
Flaminio, the selections are from Fabricius, Melanchthon, and other
German Lutherans, with some by Bishop John Parkhurst, of Norwich.
[28]See his _Ghostly Psalms and Spiritual Songs_ in _Remains of Myles
Coverdale, Bishop of Exeter_. Edited for the Parker Society by Rev.
George Pearson, B.D. Cambridge, 1846. With this may be compared the
Scotch versions of German hymns, some of them based on Latin
originals in _Gude and Godlie Ballates_. Edinburgh, 1578. Reprinted
with Introduction and Glossary by David Laing. Edinburgh, 1868. The
queerest book in the annals of hymnology.
[29]See his _Hymns and Songs of the Church_, London, 1623 and 1856. Lord
Selborne, in the Encyclopaedia Britannica (_sub voce_ “Hymns”),
observes that Wither anticipates Charles Coffin in basing a series of
hymns for the days of the week upon the days’ works of the Creation.
[30]John Henry Newman, in his _Letter to Dr. Jelf_ in vindication of his
_Tract No. XC._, wrote: “I always have contended, and will contend,
that it [the religious revival] is not satisfactorily accounted for
by any particular movements of individuals upon a particular spot.
The poets and philosophers of the age have borne witness to it for
many years. Those great names in our literature, Sir Walter Scott,
Mr. Wordsworth, Mr. Coleridge, though in different ways, and with
essential differences one from another and perhaps from any Church
system, still all bear witness to it. The system of Mr. Irving is
another witness to it. The age is moving toward something, and, most
unhappily, the one religious communion which has of late years been
practically in possession of that something, is the Church of Rome.”

Notes to the Electronic Edition
For the sake of the eBook format, these changes were made from the
printed book:
--Added a “Table of Contents”
--In this ASCII-based text, “ae” and “oe” ligatures (which represent a
mere typographical convention, not authorial intent) are expanded.
--Silently corrected several inconsistently indented lines of poetry.
--Expanded material which was in two columns only for the sake of
compression.
