Poem of the Day: N.Lull.Epit

  1. Lull michi nomen erat, famosa Britannia mater,
  2. Quae me Venneticos misit adire patres;
  3. Post sibi me iunxit doctor Bonifacius sanctus
  4. Imposita estque humeris infula sacra meis.
  5. Et dum martirio caelestes scandit ad arces,
  6. Maerenti ecclesiae me iubet esse patrem.
  7. Hic mihi sit requies, dum rex aliquando reclamet:
  8. ‘Pulvis, qui dormis, surge iubente deo.’
