Text

O Maria
mater Christi
virgo pia
mestorum consolatrix
pauperum adiutrix.

Ave domina
deitatis cellula
inter omnes
virgines castissima
te petimus nostra dele peccamina.

Que es celo alcior
terre lacior
stellis purior
abbisso profundior
o Maria cunctis sanctis es sanctior.

O iocunda
tu es Aaron virgula fructifera
que nobis Christum fructum vite protulit.

Omnes virtutes
omnium lapidum in se continens
atque cunctarum herbarum vim retinens.

O dignissima
dele pecamina
reprime noxia
sensus nostras visita flagita
ut gaudia possideamus celica
post carnis exilium.

O Maria.
