Joye IV
Prayer for the Hour of Death
The petitioner asks the Virgin, who bore the Savior, for help at the hour of death, and concludes with the Hail Mary.
Worthy Virgin, who bore the Savior: by that great joy you felt when you gave him birth, please help me—and come to me when I must die. Hail Mary.

Digne Vierge, qui le Sauveur portas, Pour ycelle grant joye, secourir Tu me vueilles, que eus quant l'enfantas, Et vien a moy quand je devray mourir. Ave Maria.
