QUAM DEJECTUS, is the beginning of a passion-hymn, written by the doctor seraphicus, St. Bonaventura (q.v.), of which the first stanza runs thus:<\/p>\n
Quam despectus, quam dejectus,<\/p>\n
Rex coelorum est effectus,<\/p>\n
Ut salvaret saeculum;<\/p>\n
Esnrivit et sitivit,<\/p>\n
Pauper et egenius ivit<\/p>\n
Usque ad patibulum.<\/p>\n
This beautiful hymn has been translated into English by P. S. Worsley, and<\/p>\n
from the Lyra Messianica, p. 277, we subjoin the first stanza:<\/p>\n
Oh, what shame and desolation,<\/p>\n
Working out the worlds salvation,<\/p>\n
Deigned the King of Heaven to bear!<\/p>\n
See him bowed with sorrows endless,<\/p>\n
Hungry, thirsty, poor, and friendless,<\/p>\n
Even to the cross repair.<\/p>\n
For the original, see Trench, Sacred Latin Poetry (Lond. 1864), p. 143 sq. (B. P.) <\/p>\n
