Latin text Salve sola Dei genitrix et Virgo Maria Tecum una est Dominus, tibi gratia summa Super que es foemineos benedicta choros Benedictus Jesus, ille tui ventris fructus Miserere tuorum, nunc et in extrema Precor O ne morte relinquas.

English translation Hail, only mother of God and Virgin Mary, the Lord is with thee alone. Thou art full of grace above all, thou art blessed above all women. Blessed Jesus, he who was the fruit of thy womb, have mercy on thy people now and at the end: I pray, O abandon me not to death.
