tlella splendens in monte ut solis radium
Miraculis serrato, exaudi populum.
Concurrunt universi gaudentes populi.
Divites et egeni grandes et parvuli.

Principes et magnates extirpe regia,
Seculi potestates optenta venia,
Peccaminum proclamant tundentes pectora,
Poplite flexo clamant hic: Ave Maria.

Prelati et barones, comites incliniti,
Religiosi omnes atque presbiteri,
Milites, mercatores, cives marinari,
Hurgenses, piscatores premiantur ibi.

Rustici, aratores, nec non notarii,
Advocati, scultores, cuncti ligni fabri,
Surtores et sutores, nec non lanifici,
Artitices et omnes gratulantur ibi.

Regine comitisse, illustres domine,
Potentes et ancille, iuvenes parvuli,
Virgines et antique, pariter vidue,
Conscendunt et hunc montem, et religiose.

Cetus hii aggregantur, hic ut exhibeant
Vota rcgreciantur, ut ipsa et reddant
Aulum istam ditantes, hoc cuncti videant,
tocnlibus omantes soluti redeant.

Cuncti ergo precantes sexus utriusque,
Mentes nostras mudantes oremus devote
Virginem gloriosam, matrem clementie,
In celis graciosam senciamus vere.
