O virgo virginum
quomodo fiet istud? 
Quia nec primam similem visa es
nec habere sequentem. .
Filiae Ierusalem 
quid me admiramini? 
Divinum est mysterium hoc
quod cernitis.

O Virgin of Virgins
How shall this take place?
Neither before thee was there any like Thee,
Nor after.
Maidens of Jerusalem
Why do you wonder in me?
It is a divine mystery
this which you behold.
