(1a) Adest nobis nunc miranda, 
Orbe toto veneranda, 
Celebris festivitas,
(1b) Qua ignaram viri [bad word] 
Supra chores angelorjm 
Matrem levat deltas.
Lectio libri Sapientiae.
(2a) In qua Matris summi Regis, 
Et auctoris novae legis 
Signatur mysterium,
(2b) Per quam caeli regnum justis, 
Datur lapsis et injustis 
Veniae subsidium.
In omnibus requiem quaesivi, et in haereditate ejus morabor.
(3a) Quam promisit ab aeterno, 
Dat Creator hanc moderno 
Tempore credentibus.
(3b) Hie quaesita reperitur, 
Qui et suis hie largitur Dona Rex fidelibus.
Tunc praecepit et dixit mihi Creator omnium.
(4a) Soils, lunae, [bad word]  
Iris, aeris, [bad word]  
Et [bad word] parium,
(4b) More motus [bad word] Supernorum, [bad word]  
Caeli, terrae, marium.
Et qui creavit me, requievit in tabernaculo meo.
(5a) In quod ut ros introivit, 
Ut per [bad word] 
Sol exivit, 
Nil [bad word] penitus.
(5b)  Non est istud ius naturae, 
Sed concessit creaturae 
Hoc Creator caelitus.
Et sic in Sion firmata sum.
(6a) O quam felix et beata 
Clari David regis nata, 
Yesse florens virgula!
(6b) Tu Maria Stella maris, 
Quae per gratiam firmaris 
In [bad word] specula.
In plateis, sicut cinnamomum et balsamum aromatizans, odorem dedi, quasi myrrha electa, dedi suavitatem odoris.

(1a) Here now is for us the wondrous 
Great feast 
To be honoured throughout the world,
(1b) On which the mother who knew 
No man's bed, is raised by the Deity 
Above the choirs of angels.
Reading from the Book of Wisdom
(2a) On which we heed the Secret
of the Mother of the most majestic King 
And the maker of the new law,
(2b) Through whom the kingdom of heaven 
Is granted to the just, 
And the help of forgiveness 
To the downcast and the sinners.
In all these I sought rest, and I shall abide in the inheritance of the Lord.
(3a) She whom He has promised from eternity 
Is granted now to the faithful 
By the Creator.
(3b) The one who is sought is to be found here, through her, too, the king showers 
Goods upon his flock.
Then the Creator of all [bad word] and said to me.
(4a) The orbit of the sun, the moon, the [bad word]  the rainbow, the air, the stars, 
And the two poles,
(4b) The heights, the depths 
The firmament, the earth, 
And the seas.
And he that made me rested in my tabernacle.
(5a) Into which he entered as dew, [bad word] forward like the Sun, 
Marring nothing at all.
(5b) This is not according to the law of nature, 
But has been permitted to his creature 
By the Creator after a heavenly manner
And so was I established in Sion.
(6a) On how fortunate and happy is
The daughter of the magnificent King 
David, the blossoming rod of Jease:
(6b) You, Mary, star of the sea, 
Who through mercy strike root , 
On the peak of the saints.
I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon,
and aromatical balm,
I yielded a sweet odour like the best myrrh.
