Giovanni di Paolo (Giovanni di Paolo di Grazia) (Italian, Siena 1398–1482 Siena), The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine of SienaGiovanni di Paolo (Italian, Siena 1398–1482 Siena), The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine of Siena

Givith thy hand to the lord,

Oh great Catherine the mystic.

Grant Madonna the kindness,

Thou hath granted to the dying.

 

Your time hath cometh Catherine,

To quitteth from Siena,

And greeteth Peter at the kingdom gates.

Thou hast been a great aid to the Order,

Now putteth on thy ring and live out rest of thy days in the clouds above.
