an illa ingemescit et plangit cui vacat cultum pretiosae vestis induere nec indumentum Christi quod perdidit cogitare, accipere pretiosa ornamenta et monilia laborata, nec divini et caelestis ornatus damna deflere ? tu licet indumenta peregrina et vestes sericas induas, nuda es: auro te licet et margaritis gemmisque condecores, sine Christi decore deformis es. et quae capillos tuos inficis vel nunc in doloribus desine, et quae nigri pulveris ductu oculorum liniamenta depingis vel nunc lacrimis oculos tuos ablue.
