Hail, star that never stinteth light;

Hail, bush burning that never was brent;

Hail, rightful ruler of every right,

Shadow to shield that should be shent;

Hail, blessed be you blossom bright,

To truth and trust was thine intent;

Hail, maiden and mother, most of might,

Of all mischiefs an amendëment;

Hail, spice sprung that never was spent;

Hail, throne of the Trinity;

Hail, scion that God us soon to sent,

_You pray for us thy Sonë free!_ AVE.
