Virginalis hortuli Verni pubent surculi Et efflorent pulluli Fecunda propagine. Gelu et hiems transeunt, Nix et imber abeunt, Rosæ in terra prodeunt Et caelesti germine. Rosa, radix lilii Haec ex horto lilii Toto curso exsilii Collegit plantaria. Justis ad lætitiam, Reis ad justitiam, Electis ad gloriam Cunctis salutaria. Quæ de caelis attulit Et in terris sustulit, Christus mundo contulit Contra mundum proelians. <i>Nos hic tectus frondibus Vulneratus sentibus, Redimitus floribus, Vocans, purgans, praemians.</i> [Verse omitted from this setting] A stirpis rosariæ Gemmis, spinis, foliis, Affluentis patriæ Fruemur deliciis, Ubi satrix residet. Atque huius militiæ Læta sodalitiis Triplicis hierarchiæ Ter trinis consortiis Imperatrix residet. Stella luna pulchrior Lucifero clarior Sole rutilantior Lux luce lucidior. Sancta sanctis sanctior Angelor nobilior Archangelo egregior Principatu illustrior. Potestate insignior Virtute prestantior Dominatu indignior Thronis eminentior Cherubim petitior Seraphim ardentior Salve nova triumphatrix Et triumphi reparatrix Antiqui certaminis. Rursus minax sævit ultor, Ni resistas, perit cultor Christiani nominis. Ave Verbi domicilium, Sancti Spiritus sacrarium, Summi Patris filia. Affer nobis juge auxilium, Sub discrimen vitæ varium Contra tela hostilia. Ut coronent nos post prælium, Quæ fert cœli viridarium Mixta rosis lilia. Amen.
