Quite as if they were sung in his ear, and in her very tones, he heard the words of Saint Bernard, which we have introduced to our reader: Jesu dulcis memoria, Dans vera cordi gaudia: Sed super mel et omnia Ejus dulcis praesentia.

Oh, tell me all about Him, and how I may find rest in that Love!"

Quam bonus te quaerentibus! Sed quid invenientibus!"
