Preghiera di Maria Stuarda

  O Domine Deus speravi in te.
  O care mi Jesu, nunc libera me!
In dura catena, in misera poena,
  Desidero te;
Languendo, gemendo et genuflectendo
Adoro, imploro ut liberes me!

by Mary, Queen of Scots (1542-1586)

Gebet

O Gott, mein Gebieter, ich hoffe auf dich!
O Jesu, Geliebter, nun rette du mich!
Im harten Gefängnis, in schlimmer Bedrängnis
Ersehne ich dich;
In Klagen, dir klagend, im Staube [verzagend]1,
Erhör', ich beschwöre, und rette du mich!

by Gisbert, Freiherr von Vincke (1813-1892)
