Responsory "Audit in evangelio" for the feast of Saint Francis
[Translation by Susan Boynton]
Audit in evangelio que suis
Christus loquitur ad predicandum missis
hoc inquit est quod cupio
Letanter his innititur memorie commissis
Non utens virga calcio nec pera
Fune cingitur duplicibus dimissis.

He hears in the Gospel those things which
Christ says preaching to his followers;
this, he says, is what I desire.
He supports himself happily with these things, having committed them to memory.
Using neither stick nor shoe nor wallet, he girds himself with rope,
having abandoned stronger materials..
