Altarpiece from the Carthusian monastery of Saint-Honoré, Thuison-les-Abbeville, France, depicting Saint Hugh of Lincoln with his swan.
¶ Or this:
O merciful Father, who didst endow thy servant Hugh of Lincoln with a wise and cheerful boldness, and didst teach him how to commend the discipline of holy life to kings and princes: Give us grace like him not only to be bold, but to have just cause for boldness, even the fear and love of thyself alone; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
