Note 1 — CANTO VII.
Charles Eliot Norton translation
The beginning of a Church hymn to the Virgin, sung after vespers, of which the first verses are:— Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae! Vita, dulcedo et spes nostra, salve! Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae; Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes In hac lacrymarum valle.
