Mella cor obdulcantia
Tua distillant labia,
Fragrantum vim aromatum
Tuum vincit eloquium.
Scripturæ sacræ mystica
Mire solvis ænigmata,
Theorica mysteria
Te docet ipsa Veritas.
Tu nactus apostolicam
Vicem simul et gloriam,
Nos solve culpæ nexibus,
Redde polorum sedibus.
O Pontifex egregie,
Lux et decus Ecclesiæ,
Non sinas in periculis,
Quos tot mandatis instruis.
Sit Patri laus ingenito,
Sit decus Unigenito,
Sit utriusque parili
Majestas summa Flamini. Amen.
From Thy lips there flows honey that brings
sweetness to the heart. Thy words are more fragrant than the richest perfume. Admirably dost thou solve the obscure figures
of Sacred Writ. The divine mysteries are taught thee by Him that is the very
Truth. O thou that hast the office and the glory of the Apostles, pray for us,
that we may be loosened from the bonds of sin, and obtain the thrones prepared
for us above. O excellent Pontiff!
Light and ornament of the Church! Thou hast so richly instructed us,—assist us
in our dangers. To the unbegotten Father, and to his Only Begotten Son, and to
the Spirit of them both, be praise and highest kingship. Amen.
