Et dormicione et quietacione sponsi in vespere grandis secuta est desolacio virginis et matris Mariae. Et Jeremie vaticinium luctum unigeniti fecit sibi et planctum amarum Symeonis gladio transverberata flens et eiulans lamentabiliter incedebat dicens: Quis dabit capiti meo aquam, et oculis meis fontem lacrimarum ut plorem die at nocte, contricionem dilecti filii mei. Heu heu, longe factus est a me, qui consolabatur me. […] Intuemini, quia caput eis plenum est rore et cincinni eis guttis noctium […] Lectulus dormicionis, idest mortis eius, non est latus, et sericis mollibus stratus, sed de ligno duro fabrefactus penaliter […] Sic nempe ille declinaverat, quando moriens patibulo obdormiens in manus patris spiritum inclinato capite commendabat. Inde translatus, indurissimi lapidis spelunca est repositus, et ad voluto saxo ad ostium monumenti inter mortuos est locatus. Attendite igitur innumeri populi et videte dolorem meum, si, inquam, visus dolor similis sicut dolor meus.
