O admirabile commertium: creator generis humani, animatum corpus sumens, de Virgine nasci dignatus est, et procedens homo sine semine, largitus est nobis suam Deitatem.
{{Translation|English}}
O wondrous exchange: the Creator of humankind, taking upon him a living body, vouchsafed to be born of a Virgin and, without seed, becoming a man, hath made us partakers of his Divinity.
