Unblemished Virgin nurse of God,
O mother of the king of Olympus [heaven],
The sole parent of the Word, by giving birth
You repaired the sin of man which was from Eve,
You are our saviour and mediator. 
Scripture tells this with a clear light.
O daughter of your son through his good birth,
Grant that, by the joyful act of the Muses
Your hymn may prevail and it should be the 'Hail [Mary]';
And that, with reinforced sound, our throats 
Should offer prayer and praise, and shout Hail
To you with pure and zealous art.

Hail ornament of virgins and of men
And gate of heaven;
Hail lily, flower of the humble,
Noble virgin.
Hail indeed, all-beautiful as the moon,
Chosen and bright-shining as the sun, rejoice!
Hail you alone, with your sole friend,
Console those singing 'la-mi-la'1 in your praise.
Hail Mary, mother of virtues,
The artery and pulse of pardon, hail Mary,
Full of grace, God is with you;
Hail Mary, mother of virtues.
Amen.
