DOMINE, prævenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis: posuisiti in capite ejus coronam de lapide pretioso. V. Vitam petiit a te, et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum in sæculum sæculi.

O Lord, Thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: Thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones. V. He asked of life of Thee and Thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.
