Latin text Eructavit cor meum verbum bonum: dico ego opera mea regi. Lingua mea calamus scribæ velociter scribentis. Speciosus forma præ filiis hominum, diffusa est gratia in labiis tuis: propterea benedixit te Deus in æternum.

English translation My heart is inditing of a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made unto the King. My tongue is the pen: of a ready writer. Thou art fairer than the children of men: full of grace are thy lips, because God hath blessed thee for ever. (Book of Common Prayer)
