Nam sponsum, quem quasi leonem ferocem accepit, ad te quasi agnum mansuetissimum destinavit. English translation O Lord Jesus Christ, good shepherd, author of ethical advice, gather in the fruits of the seed which you planted in Cecilia: Cecilia, your handmaid, served you diligently, as an hive of bees. For she accepted a bridegroom who was as a fierce lion, Yet gave him up to you as the tamest of lambs. (trans. Timmi O'Danaos & Donna Ferrentes)
