Sibylla Agrippa
Language: Latin 
Available translation(s): ENG FIN FRE
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.

The Agrippan Oracle
Language: English  after the Latin 
The highest and brightest will be born in flesh and of a virgin, 
and the holy word truly has filled1 her womb 
according to the plan of the Holy Spirit without harming her;
Though despised by many, for the love of salvation
He will judge the sins committed by our fault,
And his unchanging honour and confirmed glory will endure.

1 if the Latin is "complebit", this becomes "will fill"
