"TU NATALE SOLIUM PROTEGE." - Hymn of Lauds in the Office of St. Martina, composed by Urban VIII. It is the continuation of "Martinae celebri" (v.).

It is a prayer to the Roman martyr that she defend the ancestral soil from the Islamic danger pressing upon Christian peoples. May all princes unite under the banner of the Cross to vanquish the enemies of Christ.
