by Angelo Ambrogini (1454 - 1494), as Angelo Poliziano

Inno a Maria Nostra Donna
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Vergine santa, immacolata e degna, 
Amor del vero Amore,
Che partoristi il Re che nel Ciel [regna]1
Creando il Creatore,
[Nel tuo talamo mondo:]2
Vergine rilucente,
Per te sola si sente 
Quanto bene è nel mondo:
Tu siei degl'affannati buon conforto;
[Ed al]3 nostro navil se' vento e porto.

O di schietta umiltà ferma colonna,
Di carità coperta
Accetta di pietà, gentil Madonna,
Per cui la strada aperta
Insino al Ciel si vede,
Soccorri ai poverelli,
Che son fra lupi agnelli,
E divorar ci crede
L'inquieto nemico, che ci svia,
Se Tu non ci soccorri, Alma Maria.
