Rosa dicitur, occasione vultus infantilis sub eiusdem forma apparentis. Dei para cognomen addidit a S. Maria, [2] Casta ex voto. S. Rosa quinquennis voto virginitatis se obstrigens eiusdem respectu speciosam comam sibi prescindit, [3] Constans in proposito. S. Rosa parentum suasionibus et blanditiis fortior, oblatas instantissimè nuptias, liberrimè repudiat, [4] Severa in corpvs. S. Rosa asperrimo cilicio multus acus intexit, coronam capiti instruit aculeis obarmatam cingendis lumbis triplicem catenam nectit, [5] Habitv religiosa. S. Rosa habitum Ordinis poenitentia S. Dominici ardenter concupisum, solemniter suscipit, [6] Iesv familiaris. S. Rosa spirituali aut corporali intenta operi, apparentis infantili specit sponsi sui conspectu varie recreatur, [7] Coelesti sponso comitata. S. Rosa consortio sponsi sui frequentes dignata, cum eo 18 annorum aetatem referente obambulare conspicitur, [8] Seraphicis adoribvs colliqvescens. S. Rosa dilecti sui desiderio oestans et deficiens, ad eum requirendum ablegat angelum tutelarem, [9] In solitvdine operosa. S. Rosa culices in cella frequentes, sed innoxias post Dei laudes cantatas omni mane emittat ad pastum: luciniam quoque ad easdem erudit, [10] Christo desponsa. S. Rosa ante Deiparae a rosario dicte imaginem orans, Christo ex tabula locuto in sponsam assumitur, [11] Cibi et somni parca. S. Rosa in cellula ad extremum horti angulum comparata ieiunus et vigilis frequentibus vacat, [12] Demonvm victrix. S. Rosa diobolicis larvis spectrisque terrificis saepe tentata, semper victrix, hostem proterit, [13] In coelis gloriosa. S. Rosa post mortem apparens devotae cuidam personae, declarat favores quibus in sponsi sui paradiso fruitur, and [14] E sepvlcro opifera. S. Rosa in aede PP. praedicatorum sepulta Limae, omnigenis necessitatibus pie se invocantium opitulatur</dd>
