All stand, as at the gospel: he incenses the book, and then sings the Exultet . After the words curvat imperia, he fixes in the candle the five grains of incense in the form of a cross . At the words "ignis accendit" he lights the paschal candle with one of the three lights .

Non primus equis oriens afflavit anhelis, illic sera rubens accendit lumina Vesper.
