1.
<V.> Ave pulcherrima regina
gracia divina
quam trina
beavit
ante nec post creavit
maiorem te.

<V.> Te rex regum deus deorum
dierum multorum
pro morum
virtute
sponsam in iuventute
traxit ad se.

<R°> Mira res angelum emiserat
cui placuisti
plena es gracia ut dixerat
verbo concepisti
virgo permansisti
dixisti
secundum
verbum tuum iocundum
fiat in me.

2.
<V.> Salve lux patrum prophetarum
glosa scripturarum
multarum
serata
porta perambulata
Ezechiel.

<V.> Sicut rubus non concrematus
Moysi flammatus
servatus
sic paris
nescia virgo maris
Emanuel.

<R° Aaron virga>

3.
<V.> Vale Hester per te iudeum
salvat Mardocheum
rex regum
comprehendit
ferox Aman suspendit
pro scelere.

<V.> Caput tu Iudith Holofernis
qui preest infernis
superbis
prosternis
superba Iuda gentem
wlt perdere.

<R° Salomon regis>

4.
<V.> Genitrix miserorum pia
virgo es Maria
sed quia
nostrorum
pondera
peccatorum allevias.

<V.> Te exoratricem reorum
fecit rex polorum
nostrorum
malorum
indultum
tua prece obtineas.

<R°> [om.]

<R°> Aaron virga floruit
non nature more
Gedeon vellus mire maduit
de celesti rore
salvoque pudore
dolore
servato
viro gingnis ignoto
per Gabriel.

<R°> Salomon regis prudentissimi
mater coronata
in sinu sedentis altissimi
dextris sociata
nobis sis advocata
beata
Maria
virgo clemens et pya
nos protege.

Amen.
