Astarac.” Raymond de Lavedan, in 1253, left this clause in his will: “I give my land to St. Mary with all it bears towards heaven and contains in its depths.” There are a thousand similar examples of illustrious barons of the olden times whose tombstones in the Virgin’s chapel in many instances remain an enduring testimony of their devotion to Mary, though the building itself is demolished. The confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament at Aubiet only admitted thirteen of the most notable persons of the town. Among other obligations, they had to accompany the Holy Eucharist when carried to any of the members who were ill, bare-headed, wearing surplices, and bearing lighted torches in their hands; to assemble in like robes on the first Thursday of every month; to follow the divine Host in procession; and every Thursday to attend a Mass of the _Corpus Domini_ under the penalty of a fine. One peculiarity of this Mass was the _Kyrie Eleison_, which they sang with a thousand modulations: KYRIE, _Pater æterne, fontana Deitas, ex quo manant flumina rerum_, ELEISON![53] KYRIE, _fons co-æternæ lucis et claritas, lucem formans primo dierum_, ELEISON![54] KYRIE, _fons superne, redundant bonitas, panem mittens de cœlo verum_, ELEISON![55] CHRISTE, _lucis fons, lux de luce prodiens; Dei pinguis mons, quo pascente vivit esuriens et impletur pane vivente_, ELEISON![56] CHRISTE, _cordium via, vita, veritas; cibus mentium, in quo sistit summa suavitas et satietas consistit_, ELEISON! CHRISTE, _sumptio tui sacri corporis est refectio vires præbens immensi roboris, et molesta salutis demens_, ELEISON! KYRIE, _decus amborum, Patris Natique, et duorum non duplex Spiritus; quo spirante lux datur morum_, ELEISON![57] KYRIE, _qui veritatis lumen es diffusum gratis, dictus Paraclitus, dans solamen his desolaris_, ELEISON! KYRIE, _sana palatum, quo gustamus panem gratum et missum cœlitus, in Marid per te formatum_, ELEISON![58]
