Rh Raccolta, under the eye and with the sanction of the S. Congr. of Indulgences. In order, however, to bring this out more clearly, it will be well to place the two versions in juxtaposition, that the reader may judge for himself of the extent of the variation authorised.

Comparing the one with the other, we find, in the first line, "dulcissime" is the rendering of "amato;" "mio" is omitted in the Latin. Farther on, "sanctissima" is omitted, "atque obtestor" inserted in the Latin, with no corresponding words in the original; then "vivendos" inserted; "veram pœnitentiam" is given for the rendering of "dolore;" "firmissimam voluntatem" for "proponimento;" "magno animi affectu" for "tutto amore;" "dolore" for "tutta la compassione;" "ac mente contemplor" inserted; "illud præ oculis habens, quod jam in ore ponebat suo David propheta de te, O bone Jesu," for "cominciando da ciò, che disse di voi, o Gesù mio, il santo profeta David." Thus it appears that in this short prayer, in the first eight lines, there are three words entirely omitted in the Latin translation and nine inserted, the ninth and tenth lines being entirely altered in the construction and wording, though the sense remains the same.
