Dear Lara:
I'll take the easy one: "O quam suavis est dominus" seems to be a
paraphrase of Ps 33[34].8:
"gustate et videte quoniam suavis est dominus; beatus vir qui sperat in
eo" in the Stuttgart edition of the LXX psalter.
It's rendered in the Douai version as "O taste and see that the Lord is
sweet! Happy is the man who hopeth in him!"
Your version is perhaps derived from a collect, hymn or sequence
paraphrase; someone out there (Bill East? Karen Jolly? et alia?) probably
knows off the top of her/his head...

me of the Duke of Monmouth.

spot where Louisa
University of Notre Dame Musgrove fell!"
