<V.> Vale imperatrix celica
caritas te insignivit deica
maria plena gracia
nos virtutibus sacia
omnis mater clemencie

W. Posce te digne laudare
canticisque laudum personare
degustare ut possimus
patris natique spiritus
donum et munus gracie

3.
W. Omnes una profitemur
trinum deum unum confitemur
nam monas gignit monadem
ex se spirans ardorem
equalem et coeternum

4.
W. Tres persone tria nomina
est simplex deus in una essencia
ex nullo gerens inicium
est finis et principium
ens encium dignissimum

5.
W. Hec excelsa atque veneranda
honoranda digne adoranda
te preelegit trinitas
fecit beatam deitas
eiusque archa facta es

6.
W. Ester sancta quater beata
laudum ymnis mire trabeata
portasti man absconditum
ab ewo nusquam auditum
vere sanctorum sancta es

tuas laudes rite enarrare
non tellus unda calamus
herbarum lapidum virtus
etas lingwa valet sexus

8.
W. Ergo clemens et venusta
rectrix poli princeps et augusta
sancte huic trinitati
inmense deitati
digneris nos comendare
