Sibylla Tiburtina
Language: Latin
Available translation(s): ENG FIN FRE
Verax ipse Deus dedit haec mihi munia fandi
Carmine, quod sanctam potui monstrare puellam.
Concipiet, quae Nazareis in finibus illum,
Quem sub carne Deum Bethlemitica rura videbunt.
O nimium felix coelo dignissima mater,
Quae tantam sacro lactabit ab ubere prolem.

Sibylle de Tibur
Language: French (Français)  after the Latin
Le vrai Dieu lui-même m'a donné cette charge de parler
Parce que j'ai pu montrer dans un chant la sainte Vierge
Qui concevra dans le pays de Nazareth ce Dieu
Que les campagnes de Bethléem verront incarné.
Ô mère trop heureuse, très digne du ciel,
Qui allaitera de son saint sacré un si grande descendance.
