1.
<V.> Nunc festum celebremus
laudesque decantemus
corde voce ore

<V.> Martiris et regine
virginis Katherine
psallencium more.

R° Hec per virtutum flores
vicit Maxencium
doctosque oratores
ut ferens flores
doecens martirium.

R° O dulcis Katherina
exora dominum
tu virginum regina
ut premia det trina
regnique solium.

2.
<V.> Unica Costi nata
scienciis ornata
pulchraque facie

<V.> per artes liberales
tradunt hic annales
vincis in acie.

R° Reginam convertisti
atque Porphirium
nam hostem contrivisti
pro sanguine fudisti
tu lactis riwolum.

3.
<V.> Rote due parantur
mineque intentantur
miti tam virginie

<V.> sed dum virgo oravit
rotas cum plebe stravit
virtus Adonay.

R° Hec virgo flagellatur
diu hac fortiter
post hec incarceratur
virgoque decollatur
quiescit dulciter.

4.
<V.> Sacrum corpus transvexit
in mortem syna vexit
turba angelica

<V.> Traditur sepulture
virginis corpus pure
cum laude celica.

<R°> Ex eis tumba manat
rivulus olei
cunctosque morbos sanat
humores quoque planat
per graciam dei.

5.
<V.> O virgo martir doctrix
clerique diva rectrix
gemma prefulgida

<V.> Nunc sertum lilyorum
rosarum atque florum
tu fers in patria.

<R°> Ihesum in te laudamus
tam digno nomine
nunc grates referamus
atque benedicamus
celorum domine.

Amen.
