Sibylla Europaea
Language: Latin
Available translation(s): ENG FIN FRE
Virginis aeternum veniet de corpore verbum purum.
Qui valles et montes transiet altos,
Ille volens etiam stellato missus olympo
Edetur mundo pauper,
qui cuncta silenti rex erit imperio.
Sic credo et memo fatebor:
Humano simul et divino semine natus.

Sibylle d'Europe
Language: French (Français)  after the Latin
Du corps d'une vierge viendra l'éternel Verbe
Pur, qui passera les vallées et les hautes montagnes,
Lui aussi volant, envoyé de l'Olympe étoilé,
Pauvre il naîtra au monde,
Lui qui dans un pouvoir silencieux sera le roi de tout.
Ainsi je crois et je reconnaîtrai :
Il est né d'une semence humaine en même temps que divine.
