Original text and translations
Latin text
- Salve puerule, salve tenellule,
- o nate parvule quam bonus es.
- Tu coelum deseris, tu mundo nasceris,
- nobis te'ut miseris assimiles.
- O summa bonitas! Excelsa deitas
- Vilis humanitas fit hodie.
- Aeternus nascitur, immensus capitur
- et rei tegitur sub specie.
- Virgo puerpera, beata viscera
- Dei cum opera dent filium.
- Gaude, flos virginum, gaude, spes hominum,
- fons lavans criminum proluvium.
