¶3

The ewe-lamb, the Virgin, seeing her Lamb stretched out upon the Tree between two thieves, cried out: “Woe is me, my sweet Child! What is this strange and all-glorious mystery that I see? How hath the iniquitous assembly nailed Thee to the Cross and given Thee vinegar to drink, Who didst feed men with manna?”
