  Hymnus
  Igne divíni rádians amóris córporis sexum superávit Agnes, et super carnem potuére carnis claustra pudícæ.
  Spíritum celsæ cápiunt cohórtes cándidum, cæli super astra tollunt; iúngitur Sponsi thálamis pudíca sponsa beátis.
  Virgo, nunc nostræ miserére sortis et, tuum quisquis célebrat tropǽum, ímpetret sibi véniam reátus atque salútem.
  Redde pacátum pópulo precánti príncipem cæli dominúmque terræ, donet ut pacem pius et quiétæ témpora vitæ.
  Láudibus mitem celebrémus Agnum, casta quem sponsum sibi legit Agnes, astra qui cæli moderátur atque cuncta gubérnat.

Psalm 38
  Ægrotantis deprecatio
The cripple's supplication
  Vanitati creatura subiecta est... propter eum qui subiecit eam in spe (Rom 8, 20).
Creation has been subjected to vanity ... because of him who subjected it in hope.
  I
I
  Dixi: «Custódiam vias meas, * ut non delínquam in lingua mea;
  I said, I will watch over my ways, so that I sin not with my tongue.
  ponam ori meo custódiam, * donec consístit peccátor advérsum me».
  I put a guard to my mouth, whilst the sinner rose before me.
  Tacens obmútui et sílui absque ullo bono, * et dolor meus renovátus est.
  I have been silent, and I have humbled myself, and I have refrained from saying even good things; and my pain was renewed.
  Concáluit cor meum intra me, * et in meditatióne mea exársit ignis.
  My heart was warmed within me, and whilst I was meditating, a fire was ignited.
  Locútus sum in lingua mea: * «Notum fac mihi, Dómine, finem meum;
  The word came on my tongue, "Let me know my end, O Lord,
  et númerum diérum meórum quis est, * ut sciam quam brevis sit vita mea».
  and what is the number of my days, so that I may know how little I have left.
  Ecce paucórum palmórum fecísti dies meos, * et spátium vitæ meæ tamquam níhilum ante te.
  Behold, Thou hast subjected my days to a limited measure, and my being is like nothingness before Thou.
  Etenim univérsa vánitas omnis homo constitútus est. * Etenim ut imágo pertránsit homo.
   Yes, every living man is naught but vanity.Yes, man passes by like a phantom,
  Étenim vánitas est et concitátur; * thesaurízat et ignórat quis congregábit ea.
  and it is in vain that he torments himself. He is hoarding treasures, and he doth not know for whom he hath heaped them up.
  Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
  Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
  Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

  And now what is my expectation? Isn't that the Lord? My hope is in Thou.
  Ab ómnibus iniquitátibus meis érue me, * oppróbrium insipiénti ne ponas me.
  Deliver me from all my iniquities. Thou hast repaid me the reproach of the fool.

  I was silent, and I did not open my mouth, forasmuch as Thou didst it

  Turn away from me Thy blows, under the power of Thy hand, I fainted, when Thou tookest me back
  In increpatiónibus, propter iniquitátem, corripuisti hominem, et tabéscere fecísti sicut tínea desiderabília eius. * Etenim vánitas omnis homo.
  Thou hast punished man forasmuch as of his iniquity. And Thou hast dried up his soul like a spider. Yes, it is in vain that every man is anxious.
  Exáudi oratiónem meam, Dómine, * et clamórem meum áuribus pércipe.
  Hearken, O Lord, my prayer and my supplication;
  Ad lácrimas meas ne obsurdéscas, quóniam ádvena ego sum apud te, * peregrínus sicut omnes patres mei.
  Be attentive to my tears. Do not be silent, for I am a stranger and a traveler with Thou, like all my fathers.

Psalm 51
  Contra calumniatorem
Against slanderers
  Qui gloriatur, in Domino glorietur (I Cor 1,31).
Let him who glories glory in the Lord
  Quid gloriáris in malítia, * qui potens es iniquitáte?
  Wherefore do thou glory in evil, thou who are valiant in committing iniquity?
  Tota die insídias cogitásti; * lingua tua sicut novácula acúta, qui facis dolum.
  All day long thy tongue has meditated on injustice; Like a sharp razor, thou practice deception.
  Dilexísti malítiam super benignitátem, mendácium magis quam loqui æquitátem. * Dilexísti ómnia verba perditiónis, lingua dolósa.
  Thou hast loved malice more than goodness, iniquity more than words of righteousness. Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, O deceitful tongue.
  Proptérea Deus déstruet te in finem; evéllet te et emigrábit te de tabernáculo * et radícem tuam de terra vivéntium.
  Wherefore God will destroy thou forevermore; He shall pluck thou out of thy tent and take thou out of thy tent, and He shall take away thy root from the land of the living.
  Vidébunt iústi et timébunt * et super eum ridébunt:
  The righteous will behold it, and will fear; and they will laugh at him, saying:
  “Ecce homo, qui non pósuit Deum refúgium suum, sed sperávit in multitúdine divitiárum suárum * et præváluit in insídiis suis.”
  Here is the man who did not take God for his protector, but who trusted in the multitude of his riches, and who took advantage of his vanity.
  Ego autem sicut virens olíva in domo Dei. Sperávi in misericórdia Dei * in ætérnum et in sǽculum sǽculi.
  But I am like a fertile olive tree in the house of God. * I hope in God's mercy forevermore and ever.
  Confitébor tibi in sǽculum, quia fecísti; et exspectábo nomen tuum, quóniam bonum est; * in conspéctu sanctórum tuórum
  I will praise Thee endlessly, forasmuch as Thou hast done this; and I will wait for Thy Name, forasmuch as it is good, in the presence of Thy saints.
  Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
  Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
  Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
  As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, and ever shall be. Amen.

  In primo nocturno, anno I
  De Epístula beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Romános
  Fratres, non regnet peccátum in vestro mortáli córpore, ut obœdiátis concupiscéntiis eius, neque exhibeátis membra vestra arma iniustítiæ peccáto, sed exhibéte vos Deo tamquam ex mórtuis vivéntes et membra vestra arma iustítiæ Deo. Peccátum enim vobis non dominábitur; non enim sub lege estis sed sub grátia.
  
  Quid ergo? Peccábimus, quóniam non sumus sub lege sed sub grátia? Absit! Nescítis quóniam, cui exhibétis vos servos ad obœdiéntiam, servi estis eius, cui obœdítis, sive peccáti ad mortem, sive obœditiónis ad iustítiam? Grátias autem Deo quod fuístis servi peccáti, obœdístis autem ex corde in eam formam doctrínæ, in quam tráditi estis, liberáti autem a peccáto servi facti estis iustítiæ.
  
  Humánum dico propter infirmitátem carnis vestræ. Sicut enim exhibuístis membra vestra serviéntia immundítiæ et iniquitáti ad iniquitátem, ita nunc exhibéte membra vestra serviéntia iustítiæ ad sanctificatiónem. Cum enim servi essétis peccáti, líberi erátis iustítiæ. Quem ergo fructum habebátis tunc, in quibus nunc erubéscitis? Nam finis illórum mors! Nunc vero liberáti a peccáto, servi autem facti Deo, habétis fructum vestrum in sanctificatiónem, finem vero vitam ætérnam! Stipéndia enim peccáti mors, donum autem Dei vita ætérna in Christo Iesu Dómino nostro.
  
  r. Dómine Deus, propítius esto pópulo tuo, * Et convérte tribulatiónem nostram in gáudium. v. Adiuva nos, Deus salutáris noster; propter glóriam nóminis tui, Dómine, líbera nos. * Et convérte. v. Glória Patri. * Et convérte.
  
   
   
   
  Orémus.
  
  Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, qui infírma mundi éligis, ut fórtia quæque confúndas, concéde propítius, ut, qui beátæ Agnétis mártyris tuæ natalícia celebrámus, * eius in fide constántiam subsequámur. Per Dóminum.
  Eternal and almighty God, who chooses the weak of this world to confound the powerful, grant that the Blessed Virgin Agnes, martyr, whose birth we celebrate in heaven, may strengthen us in the constancy of faith.
