(The text appears as one long sentence in the source, without punctuation or capital letters except for 'Iesu', so the text division is editorial; the third and fourth sentences are apparently quoted from a prayer for mercy written by St Augustine.) O bone Iesu, salvator mundi, miserere nobis. Cognoscimus quia peccavimus; veniam petimus quam non meremur. Vita nostra in dolore suspirat et in opere se non emendat. Si expectas non corrigimur; si vindicas non duramus. Ergo bone Iesu, salvator mundi, miserere nobis.
