Gregory himself was inspired to add the fourth line.<\/p>\n

Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte. Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.<\/p>\n

O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria. Amen.<\/td>\n

 H<\/span>AIL HOLY QUEEN<\/font>, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. <\/p>\n

Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us. And after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.<\/p>\n

O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Amen. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
