[fol. 183r]
[Antiphona]
Salue Symon Montis Fortis
Totius flos militie
Duras penas passus <mortis>
<Pro statu> gentis Anglie.
Sunt de sanctis inaudita
Cunctis passis in hac uita
Quemquam passum talia,
Manus, pedes, amputari
Caput, corpus, uulnerari
Abscidi uirilia.
Sis pro nobis intercessor
Apud Deum qui defensor
In terris <extiteris>.
[Versus] Ora pro nobis beate Symon
[Responsio] Vt digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi.
Salue Symon: antiphon, versicle and response (215)
London, British Library, Cotton MS Vespasian A VI, fol. 183r
[Antiphon]
Hail, Simon de Montfort, flower of all knighthood, who suffered the harsh pains of death for the sake of the English people. [5] None of the saints who suffered inthis life knew any such suffering: to have hands and feet severed, head and body wounded and genitals cut off. [11] May you, who lived as our defender on earth, be an intercessor for us with God.
[Versicle] Pray for us, O blessed Simon
[Response] That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
