Shouldn’t your tag begin “Qui” not “Que”? [translation: He who loves me, let him love even my song].

What is the source for this quote and why?

It’s from St. Bernard Of Clairvaux’s Sermo Primus. The “Qui v. Que” aspect doesn’t reflect, improper Latin so much as it does the co-mingling of Latin w/ medieval French. It’s generally translated as, “Who loves me will love my dog also.”
