O decus militie gentium anglorum,

[Antiphon]
O earl of Leicester, glory of the knighthood of the English people, right hand of the oppressed, by purchase with your blood you have attained the justice of heaven. Implore the life of the blessed for our miserable selves.
[Versicle] His glory is great in thy salvation.
[Collect] O God, thou who fortified the blessed martyr Simon with the power of endurance in his agony and joined unto him renowned knights for the renewal of Britain, grant that we may be helped by the prayers of him who deservedly accomplished a famous martyrdom. Through [our Lord Jesus Christ].
