The virtues that sweet madness breeds inspiring heroic deeds are from a realm beyond earth’s clime suffused with attributes sublime.

The joy that true love e’er evokes the fire that its presence stokes produce in hearts a madness sweet that lovers like a treasure greet. Oh, may God’s love, of heaven born, cause us to love Him in return so, with the martyrs we may know the sweet madness that in them flowed.
