For, Mother of th'Incarnate Word, Virginitatis via, Of women none may be preferr'd Beata prae Maria. 2. Misdoubting not the Father's plan, Testante Hieremia, 'Tis she that compass'd hath a Man, Conceptum ope dia; And, as the Holy Spirit will'd, Locustus de Messia In her is Esay's word fulfill'd, , Vetusque prophetia. 3. An Angel, and of high degree Celesti in hierarchia, Came down to greet this Maiden free, Dicens, 'Ave Maria! Fear not; bedew'd with heav'nly shower O virga, virgo pia, Thy bloom shall be th'immortal Flower: Ne timeas, Maria.' 4. Ride westward kings from Saba, three, Ferentes dona tria, And 'fore the Babe of Mary's knee Genuflectuntur, quia 'Twas God, if of his glory shorn, Cum genitrice pia, When God was born on Christmas-morn Ex Virgine Maria. 5. Yea therefore, Mary, pray thy Son, Qui Patris est Sophia, To teach and lend us every one Ad coelica bravia; Where Quire doth sing and belfry ring, Cum suavi symphonia, To laud thy Child, O Maiden mild, Mater Dei, Maria.
