I Surrectio Matutina — Getting Up in the Morning
Beatrix Puella, Emanuel, Eusebius
Dialogue (Latin—colloquium, collocutio, sermo) is so called from διαλέγεως, in which sort of composition Plato was the first to delight. In this first dialogue or discourse (sermone) there are laid down five duties, which should be performed carefully in the morning by youths and boys, viz. to rise betimes (because early morning is the friend to studies), to dress, to comb the hair, to wash, to pray.
Beat. May Jesus Christ awake you from the sleep of all vice. O you boys, are you ever going to wake up to-day?
Euseb. I don’t know what has fallen on my eyes. I seem to have them full of sand.
