Several are buried in this city."
Loquebar de testimoniis tuis in conspectu regum, et non confundebar:
et meditabar in mandatis tuis, quae dilexi nimis. * Beati immaculati in
via, qui ambulant in lege Domini.I spoke of Thy testimonies before
kings, and I was not ashamed: I meditated also on Thy
commandments, which I loved. * Blessed are the undefiled in the way:
who walk in the law of the Lord.
(Psalm 118:46-47,1 from the Introit of Mass)
Da nobis, quaesumus, Dómine, Deus noster, sanctárum Vírginum et
Mártyrum tuárum Ursulae et Sociárum ejus palmas incessábili
devotióne venerári: ut, quas digna mente non póssumus celebráre,
humílibus saltem frequentémus obséquiis.Grant us, we beseech Thee,
O Lord our God, to reverence with unceasing devotion the victories of
Thy holy virgins and martyrs Ursula and her companions; that those
whom we cannot fitting celebrate, we may at least approach with lowly
homage.
