Sibylla Agrippa

Language: Latin

Our translations: ENG FIN FRE

Summus erit sub carne satus clarissimus atque Virginis
Et vere complevit viscera sanctum
Verbum consilio sine noxa spiritus almi,
Despectus multis tamen ille salutis amore
Arguet et nostra commissa piacula culpa,
Cuius honos constans et gloria certa manebit.

Note for line 2, word 3: this could be a typo for "complebit"

Sibylle Agrippa

Language: French (Français) after the Latin

Il sera très grand, semé sous la chair, et très aimé,
Il emplira le ventre d'une vraie vierge,
Verbe saint, sans dommage, par l'action de l'esprit saint,
Pourtant méprisé par beaucoup, par amour du salut,
Il montrera les châtiments encourus par notre faute
Son honneur sera constant et sa gloire n'aura pas de fin.
