The hour of Night Prayer (Compline) is taken from Sunday after Evening Prayer II (Second Vespers). This office, as it exists in the Roman Liturgy up to and including the current 1960 Roman Breviary, is composed of First Vespers, Mass, Matins, and Lauds. The editor is not known, but the office as it existed before the alternative was no older than from 7th or 8th century. A well known refrain from the cycle is "Timor mortis conturbat me", "The fear of death confounds me" or, more colloquially, "I am scared to death of dying". The word dirge comes from it. The Vespers of the older form of the office comprise Psalms 114.1–9 (116), 119 (120), 120 (121), 129 (130), and 137 (138), with the "Magnificat" and the preces. The Matins, composed like those of feast days, have three nocturns, each consisting of three psalms and three lessons; the Lauds, as was usual until 1911, had three psalms (Psalms 62 (63) and 66 (67) united are counted as one) and a canticle (that of Ezechias), the three psalms Laudate, and the "Benedictus". Pope Pius X's reform of the Breviary removed Psalms 66, 149, and 150 from being said at Lauds every day, and this reform included the Office of the Dead. The office differs in important points from the other offices of the Roman Liturgy. It has not the Little Hours, the Second Vespers, or the Compline. In this respect it resembles the ancient vigils, which began at eventide (First Vespers), continued during the night (Matins), and ended at the dawn (Lauds); Mass followed and terminated the vigil of the feast. The absence of the introduction, ""Deus in adjutorium"", of the hymns, absolution, blessings, and of the doxology in the psalms also recall ancient times, when these additions had not yet been made. The psalms are chosen not in their serial order, as in the Sunday Office or the Roman ferial Office, but because certain verses, which serve as antiphons, seem to allude to the state of the dead. The use of some of these psalms in the funeral service is of high antiquity, as appears from passages in St. Augustine and other writers of the fourth and fifth centuries.
