The text is:
Absorbeat, quaeso, Domine
mentem meam
ab omnibus, quae sub coelo sunt
ignita et melliflua vis amoris tui
ut amore
amoris tui - moriar
qui amore
amoris mei
dignatus es mori.
I know nothing about the history of it; many prayers
are attributed to Francis, with varying levels of
likelihood!
Cheers
Rob
