Ad latus Christi

Lancea perfossum.¹ Distich.

Cor,² dilecte, mihi referas, mihi pectora pandis?       Ingrediar tandem; tunc mihi claude sinus.

¹ Following John 19:34, After Jesus had died, the soldiers conducting the crucifixion pierced his side with a lance and water and blood flowed forth. ² Cor here is taken as vocative, although it could be the direct object of referas.
