ANONYMI CARMEN DE LAUDIBUS DOMINI.

AN ANONYMOUS POEM IN PRAISE OF THE LORD.

Quis queritur sera virtutis dote juvari? / Quis promissa Dei lento procedere passu? / Quis fine humano metitur judicis urnam / Perpetui, tardumque putat quod saecula debent / Accelerare diem, meritis qui praemia reddat? / Nobilis ingenti testatur gloria facto. / Nam qua stagnanti praelabitur agmine ripas / Tardus Arar, pigrumque diu vix explicat amnem, / Qua fratrum Rheno progignitur Hedua pubes.

Who complains of being helped by a late dowry of virtue? / Who [complains] that the promises of God advance at a slow pace? / Who measures by a human limit the urn of the eternal / Judge, and thinks slow the day which the ages must / hasten, the day that is to render rewards to merits? / A noble glory bears witness to it by a mighty deed. / For where, with stagnant course, the slow Arar glides past / its banks, and for long scarcely unrolls its sluggish stream, / where the Aeduan youth of the Brothers springs from the Rhine,

PL 6:46

Conjugium memini summa pietate fideque: / Lex divina tamen meritum cumulabat amoris. / Et votum ambobus, socium praecedere morte, / Moerorique pio curam mandare sepulcri: / Sed prior uxorem decreti pagina legit.

I remember a marriage of the highest devotion and faith: / yet the divine law heaped up the merit of their love. / And the wish of both was to go before the partner in death, / and to commit the care of the tomb to dutiful mourning: / but the page of the decree chose the wife first.

Tunc vir sollicitus largo jubet ore cavari, / Post mortem fiunt quae membris hospita saxa: / Suscipies veniens, aeternaque foedera junges; / Ut quos viventes tenuisset lectulus idem,

Then the anxious husband orders to be hollowed with a wide mouth / the stones that after death become a lodging for the limbs: / "You will receive me when I come, and you will join an eternal covenant; / so that those whom the same little bed had held while living,

PL 6:47

Post praecepta Dei, bustum commune levaret. Sensit vota sui conjux praesaga mariti, Magnaque temporibus tribuit miracula castis. Nam cum defunctis jungantur brachia membris, Et repetita manus constringat vincula trunco, Ne quibus humanae complentur munera vitae, Accidat informis fluitatio dissociatis. Immensum dictu, quo tempore vita peracta est, Jungendus sociae prospecta sede maritus.

after the commandments of God, a common tomb might bear up." The wife, foreknowing her husband's wishes, sensed them, and bestowed great miracles upon chaste times. For when arms are joined to dead limbs, and the hand, sought again, draws tight its bonds upon the trunk, lest upon those in whom the offices of human life are fulfilled, once sundered, there should befall a shapeless drifting apart. A thing immense to tell: at the time when his life was completed, the husband [was] to be joined to his companion, the resting-place having been foreseen.

Postquam morte viri reserata est janua leti, Horrendumque larem jam lux ingrata retexit: Depraensa est laevam protendens femina palmam, Invitans socium gestu viventis amoris. Quis dedit affectum tumulo? quis vincula solvit? Unde sepulta videt venturae conjugis umbram?

After the gate of death had been unbarred by the man's death, and the unwelcome light now uncovered the dreadful dwelling, the woman was found stretching out her left palm, inviting her companion with the gesture of a living love. Who gave feeling to the tomb? Who loosed the bonds? Whence does the buried woman see the shade of the spouse who is to come?

Tu facis haec, tu Christe Deus, tua signa moventur, Paulatimque doces sopita resurgere membra: Tu quem venturum sancti cecinere prophetae, Incorrupta Dei soboles, rectorque regentis, Quo sine nil magnum genitor deliberat ingens. Cujus ad imperium certis mare constitit oris, Nec licet immenso terris excurrere ponto, Planaque montanos includunt littora fluctus: Qui vario stabilem dotasti munere terram In nostros usus, largus pietate paterna. Te vade, mortales committunt semina sulcis, Et novus arenti procedit cespite partus. Tu manare jubes secundo nectare vites: Tu gratos epulis hominum, medicosque saluti Arboribus succos; tu trudis dulcia mella. Tu servire jubes homini genus omne animantum, Insuper et gravibus lucos curvescere pomis, Atque novos reditus nullo de semine nasci. Tu varios amnes nostro prodesse labori, Et renovare sacris benedictum fontibus aevum. Te duce velivolis patuerunt aequora rostris, Divisosque fretis lustravit navita portus.

Thou doest these things, Thou, Christ God; Thy signs are set in motion, and little by little Thou teachest lulled limbs to rise again: Thou Whom the holy prophets sang as the One to come, incorrupt Offspring of God, and Ruler of Him Who rules, without Whom the mighty Father determines nothing great. At Whose command the sea stood still at fixed shores, nor is the boundless deep permitted to run out over the lands, and level shores shut in the mountainous waves: Thou Who didst endow the stable earth with varied gifts for our uses, generous with a father's kindness. With Thee as surety mortals commit seeds to the furrows, and a new birth comes forth from the parched turf. Thou biddest the vines flow with favourable nectar: Thou [biddest] the trees [yield] juices pleasing to the feasts of men and healing for their health; Thou thrustest forth sweet honey. Thou biddest every race of living creatures serve man, and moreover the groves bend with heavy fruits, and new returns spring from no seed. Thou [biddest] various rivers profit our labour, and renew the blessed age with sacred fountains. With Thee as leader the seas lay open to sail-winged prows, and the sailor visited harbours divided by straits.

Tu postquam certis sunt acta elementa figuris, Ne torpere rudi coelestis machina vultu Inciperet, vario signasti munere mundum: Et quidquid coelo radiat, tua dextera finxit. His aulam Domini placuit contexere signis. Jam freta ne nullis agerentur inhospita terris, Assiduumque alacer numeraret navita portum: Crebra satis tumido defigitur insula ponto; Nec tamen insano metuit circumdata fluctu, Exiguoque fretis innitens orbe resistit, Te duce confidens; cujus venerabile pactum Nexum lege pari summumque imumque peraequat, Nec sinit impositos quoquam transcendere fines. Ac ne plana nimis tellus vel nuda jaceret, Vitibus aptandos jussisti assurgere colles Grandibus, et largos umbracula texere lucos. Tum ne vastus agat silvis torpentibus horror, Innumeros fetus proceris tu saltibus addis: Incola ne nemori, neu desit praeda petenti. Tum volucres multas, tum mille examina vocum Mortali harmonia lucis resonare canoris: Sic annum placuit variis intexere formis,

Thou, after the elements had been driven into fixed shapes, lest the heavenly fabric should begin to grow torpid with an unformed countenance, didst mark the world with varied gifts: and whatever shines in the sky, Thy right hand fashioned. With these signs it pleased [Thee] to weave together the hall of the Lord. Now, lest the seas should be driven along inhospitable with no lands, and that the eager sailor might count harbour after harbour without ceasing, islands in plenty are fixed thick in the swelling deep; nor yet does the island fear, though surrounded by the raging flood, but, leaning upon its small circuit against the straits, it holds firm, trusting in Thee as leader; Whose venerable compact makes the bond equal by an equal law for highest and lowest, and suffers nothing to pass beyond the bounds laid down. And lest the earth should lie too flat or bare, Thou didst bid hills rise, fit for great vines, and broad groves weave shades. Then, lest a vast dread should hold sway in sluggish forests, Thou addest countless offspring to the lofty woodlands: that neither the grove should lack an inhabitant, nor the hunter prey. Then [Thou didst bid] many birds, then a thousand swarms of voices, resound with a harmony for mortals in the tuneful groves: thus it pleased [Thee] to interweave the year with various forms,

PL 6:48

Et vice jucunda mortalibus addere fructum : / Neu semper prolixa dies nimis ureret orbem, / Neu brevis invisum raperet nascentibus ignem. / Ac ne perpetuo quateret labor omnia nisu, / Dat requiem fessis hominum nox roscida curis : / Utque humana salus securum duceret aevum, / Sponte salutares de cespite surgitis herbae. / Has Pater ipse serit nutu, non vomere dives.

and by a pleasant alternation to add fruit for mortals: lest an over-long day should always scorch the world too much, or a short one snatch away the unseen fire from things coming to birth. And lest toil should shake all things with unceasing effort, dewy night gives rest to the weary cares of men; and so that human well-being might pass a secure age, you health-giving herbs rise of your own accord from the turf. These the Father Himself sows by His nod, rich without a ploughshare.

Non ego ferrato tegerer si viscera muro, / Ferrea vox linguaeque forent mihi mille canenti, / Munera cuncta queam vestrae pietatis obire. / Sed Pater ille tuus secreta in sede locatus, / Nec cuiquam visu facilis, cunctisque tremendus / Te misit Dominum terris vitaeque magistrum. / Et quisquis natum justo veneratur honore, / Ambobus sua vota dicat vitamque perennem. / Tu casti rectique tenax, et flectere leges / Post crimen facilis, si quem vecordia praeceps / Depulit a vobis praescripto limite vitae. / Te genitor nostra, paterentur ut ora tueri, / Induit humana facie membrisque caducis. / Quis tentaret enim fragiles attollere visus, / Si talem trepidis voluisset sistere terris, / Qualis es, ingenti cum torques fulmina dextra, / Praesentemque jubes directa pavescere poenam : / Vel cum placatus, campis sitientibus imbres / Dividis, et dubias sulcis producis aristas ?

Not if my vitals were covered by an iron wall, and I had an iron voice and a thousand tongues as I sang, could I go through all the gifts of your goodness. But that Father of Thine, set in a secret seat, and easy for no one to behold, and to be dreaded by all, sent Thee to the earth as Lord and as teacher of life. And whoever venerates the Son with due honour dedicates to both his vows and his everlasting life. Thou, holding fast to what is chaste and right, and easy to bend the laws after a crime, if headlong madness has driven anyone away from you from the prescribed boundary of life. Thee the Begetter clothed with a human face and perishable limbs, so that our faces might endure to behold Thee. For who would attempt to raise his frail eyes, if He had willed to set Thee upon the trembling earth such as Thou art when Thou hurlest thunderbolts with Thy mighty right hand, and biddest men dread the present punishment aimed at them; or when, appeased, Thou dost share out showers to the thirsting fields, and bringest forth from the furrows the uncertain ears of grain?

Ne tamen insignem res nulla ostenderet ortum, / Virgine conciperis : non sufficit esse pudicam, / Nec quae nupta queat Domino conjungere fratrem, / Ne procul ex utero contagio turpis abesset. / Mox ubi processu felix maturuit aetas, / Indociles animos monitis servare paternis / Aggrederis, rectamque viam labentibus offers. / Atque ut missa Deo penitus praecepta paterent, / Imperium tu morti adimis, morboque soluto / Desperata jubes apprendere munia vitae, / Restituisque diem caecis : et ne quid inausum / Restaret penitus, quod perfidus error obiret, / Indicis sensum tumulis, et condita pridem / Membra jubes iterum superas consurgere in auras, / Agnoscuntque suum dilecta cadavera nomen.

Yet lest nothing should show forth Thy remarkable birth, Thou art conceived of a Virgin: it is not enough that she be chaste, nor one who, being married, could join a brother to the Lord, lest the contagion of shame should not be far from the womb. Soon, when Thy blessed age had ripened in its course, Thou dost set about keeping unteachable minds by fatherly admonitions, and offerest the right way to those who stumble. And so that the precepts sent by God might be fully manifest, Thou takest from death its dominion, and, the sickness being loosed, biddest men take up the despaired-of duties of life, and restorest the day to the blind; and lest anything at all should remain undared which faithless error might set itself against, Thou impartest feeling to the tombs, and biddest limbs long buried rise again into the upper air, and the beloved corpses recognize their own name.

At postquam legem sectator idoneus hausit, / Ut se mortali coelestis spiritus aula / Exueret, legi intentum quo cuncta doceres / Pro summo toleranda Deo, recteque perennem / Contemptu mortis sibi quemque assumere vitam : / Sic completa ferens genitoris jussa, redisti / Ad summi secreta poli, qua lucidus aether / Pigra vetat proprio succendere nubila coelo. / Atque ut certa foret pereuntis copia turbae, / Quae praecepta Dei miserandis auribus arcet, / Nec nova defunctos jampridem jura tenerent : / Carceris inferni feralia, libera nobis, / Innumeramque jubes tenebris emergere plebem, / His tantum clausis, quos impia vita notarit : / Et loca poenarum venturis dividis umbris, / Quae tibi non credant, vel quae se credere fingant.

But after a fit follower had drunk in the law, so that the heavenly spirit might strip itself of its mortal hall, intent upon the law, whereby Thou mightest teach that all things are to be endured for the supreme God, and that each man rightly takes up everlasting life for himself through contempt of death: so, bearing the Begetter's commands fulfilled, Thou didst return to the secret places of the highest heaven, where the bright ether forbids sluggish clouds to mount into its own sky. And so that the multitude of the perishing crowd, which shuts God's precepts out of its pitiable ears, might be certain, and that the new laws might not bind those long dead: the deathly places of the infernal prison, free to us, and Thou biddest a countless people come forth from the darkness, only those being shut in whom an impious life has marked; and Thou dost apportion places of punishment to the shades to come, which do not believe Thee, or which pretend that they believe.

Sancte Deus, summique Dei venerabile pignus,

Holy God, and venerable pledge of the supreme God,

Ad cujus nomen violenta morte fugatae, / Pectoribus propriis alienaque pectora nactae, / Exclamant, pallentque animae, jussaeque recedunt, / Sicut multa prius de te miracula produnt, / Cum terram coelumque inter suspensa tenentur, / Obstricto per te quia nil permittitur hosti.

At Whose name the spirits, put to flight from their own breasts by a violent death and having obtained the breasts of others, cry out and grow pale, and at the command they withdraw, just as beforehand they disclose many wonders concerning Thee, while they are held suspended between earth and heaven, since nothing is permitted to the enemy, who is bound fast by Thee.

At nunc tu Dominum meritis, pietate parentem, Imperio facilem, vivendi leg⟨e⟩ magistrum, Edictisque parem quae lex tibi condita sancit: Victorem laetumque pares mihi Constantinum: Hoc melius fetu, terris nihil ante dedisti, Nec dabis: exaequent utinam sua pignora patrem!

But now mayest Thou bring forth for me a lord in merits, a parent in piety, gentle in rule, a master in the law of living, and equal to the edicts that the law established for Thee sanctions: a victorious and joyful Constantine. Than this offspring Thou hast given nothing better to the earth before, nor wilt Thou give it: would that his pledges may equal their father!
