Note 230 — Chapter XXXIV · BRIGHT DEATH.
Reading edition
“Agnæ sepulchrum est Romulea in domo, Fortis puellæ, martyris inclitæ. Conspectu in ipso condita turrium Servat salutem virgo Quiritum: Necnon et ipsos protegit advenas, Puro ac fideli pectore supplices.” Prudentius.
“The tomb of Agnes graces Rome, A maiden brave, a martyr great. Resting in sight of bastioned gate, From harm the virgin shields her home; Nor to the stranger help denies, If sought with pure and faithful sighs.”
