Summus erit sub carne satus clarissimus atque Virginis Et vere complevit1 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.

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.
