<V.> Mittitur Archangelus fidelis
ad mariam virginem de celis
antiquis que latuere velis
vox hec patefecit gabrielis

V. Ingressus hic nuncciat amena
ave inquit gracia tu plena
heres tecum manet vite vena
inter omnes feminas serena

R° Letentur christicole soluti
pharaonis vinculis versuti
liberi deserviant virtuti
mundi pompas calcantes polluti

2.
V. Cuius exset hec sermone fit turbata
cogitabat cur fit sic affata
stupet virgo quod sit salutata
voce prius nunquam visitata

V. Ne timeas inquit o maria
dominum nam tecum extat dia
altissimi filium tu que 
gygnes precor veni o messia

ut supra Letentur

3.
V. Quomodo legate archangelorum
pariam hunc regem angelorum
coniugis nam nunquam novi thorum
virgini hoc manet in decorum

V. Almus sancti spiritus radius
virgo tuus obumbrabit synus
ex te enim exiet divinus
ab eterno genitus filius

R° Ecce dei humilis ancilla
fiat verbum quod  dicis in illa 
in me sistunt vates et sibilla
per me ruat ewe necis scilla. etc.
