To the Glorious S. Anthony of Padua

In entering the Seraphic Religion of the Great Patriarch S. Francis

SONNET

And the bitter pain and sour dole For having ANTHONY your Lord offended Such a fire in you of love alighted That the breast burned and boiled the veins;

And to follow from the paternal arenas

The seraphic Dux, the trail taken, Suddenly by you of so much Heaven contended

by bare feet you trampled high Pirene.

The tired arrest, and weakened palms, And restrain the flight to your fiery thoughts, Not the desire to suffer goes farther ahead,

If the greatest of any sorrow is sorrow, what do you feel: While with nails, spears, and thorns a lot You have Jesus in your heart with all your torments.
