TEXTEN

Of one that is so fair and bright,
velut maris stella, (as the star of the sea)

Brighter than the day is light,
parens et puella: (mother and daughter)

I cry to thee, thou see to me,

Lady, pray thy Son for me,
tam pia, (so holy)

That I might come to thee.
Maria! (Mary)

All this world was forlorn,
Eva peccatrice, (because of sinful Eve)

Till our Lord was y-born,
de te genetrice. (of you, his mother)

With ave it went away (hail)

Darkest night and comes the day
Salutis; (of salvation)

The well springeth out of thee,
Virtutis. (of virtue)

Lady, flower of everything,
Rosa sine spina, (rose without thorn)

Thou bear Jesu, heavens king,
Gratia divina: (by divine grace)

Of all thou bear’st the prize,

Lady, queen of paradise
Electa: (chosen one)

Maid mild, mother
es effecta. (you are made)
