Angelus ad virginem
Language: English
Angelus ad virginem Subintrans in conclave, Virginis formidinem Demulcens inquit « Ave! Ave, regina virginum; Caeli terraeque Dominum Concipies Et paries Intacta Salutem hominum; Tu porta caeli facta, Medela criminum. » Th'angel to the Virgin said, Ent'ring into her bower, For dread of quaking of this maid, He said "Hail" with great honoure. "Hail!" be thou queen of maidens mo, Lord of heaven and earth also, Conceive thou shalt, And bear with al the Lord of might, Heal of all mankind. He will make the gate of heaven bright, Med'çine of all our sin." "Quo modo conciperem Qyae virum non cognovi? Qualiter infringerem Quod firmamente vovi?" Spiritus Sancti gratia Perficiet haec omnia; Netimeas, Sed gaudeas, se curea Quod castimonia Manebit in te pura, Dei potentia."
