[Antiphona]
O decus militie gentium anglorum,
Comes Leicestrie, dextra oppre[s]sorum,
Sanguine commercio ius tenes celorum;
Posce nobis miseris uitam beatorum.
[Versus] Magna est gloria eius in salutari tuo.
[Collecta] Deus qui beatum Symonem martyrem tuum uirtute constancie in agone suo communisti, quique illi ad renouandum Britannie regnum milites inclitos associasti, tribue nos eius precibus adiuuari qui celebri martyrio meruit consummari. Per [Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum].

[Antiphon]
O earl of Leicester, glory of the knighthood of the English people, right hand of the oppressed, by purchase with your blood you have attained the justice of heaven. Implore the life of the blessed for our miserable selves.
[Versicle] His glory is great in thy salvation.
[Collect] O God, thou who fortified the blessed martyr Simon with the power of endurance in his agony and joined unto him renowned knights for the renewal of Britain, grant that we may be helped by the prayers of him who deservedly accomplished a famous martyrdom. Through [our Lord Jesus Christ].
