FROM ENGLISH CHRONICLERS 235
priests when they sang a little too fast ; and he followed
every word, and responded to every prayer.
When all had been performed in order he awaited his last
day in the greatest calm of body and of mind, diligently
requesting his friends immediately upon his decease to announce
his death to all.
"
For," said he, " the sooner my death is known, the sooner
will the divine mercy show me some consolation from the
prayers of my friends."
In this devotion the day closed for him, and the night
also following it he continued in great tranquillity.
But on the Sunday which preceded Christ's Ascension,
that is upon the dawn of the ninth l before the Kalends of
June, when this sun arising dispelled the night's darkness
with the rays of his light, [David] departed from the darkness
o the body to the joys of the true light, with so great tran-
quillity that he seemed not to have died but to have fallen
asleep ; with so great devoutness that he was found to have
lifted his two hands joined together above his breast toward
heaven.
Assist him, saints of God hasten to ; him, angels of the
Lord receive his ; soul, worthy of your comfort, place it in
Abraham's bosom along with Lazarus, whom he despised
not, but cherished, with the holy apostles and martyrs,
whose memorials he diligently reared and cherished with
;
Christ's priests and confessors, whom he venerated in their
successors and churches with the ;
holy virgins whose chastity
he emulated with the ;
despisers of the world, whom he allied
to himself by the mammon of unrighteousness, and to whom
in Christ's name he submitted himself in all humility. Be
with him the mother of pity, whose power is well known to
be as much greater than the others' as her mercy is more
fruitful.
And I, although a sinner and unworthy, yet mindful,
sweetest lord and friend, of thy benefits which from my earliest
age thou hast bestowed upon me mindful of the favour in
;
which now at the last thou hast received me, mindful of the
benevolence with which thou hast listened to me in all my
petitions, mindful of the munificence which .thou hast shown,
mindful of the embraces and kisses in which thou hast dismissed
me, not without tears, to the wonder of all who were
present, I sprinkle and shower my tears for thee, and pour
out my affection and my whole spirit. This I offer as a
1 24th May. This was Rogation Sunday
in 1153.
