Original text and translations

Latin text

[Ecce quod Natura Mutat sua jura:
Virgo parit pura Dei filium.

[1 .] Ecce novum gaudium,
Ecce novum mirum:
Virgo parit filium,
Que non novit virum;

Que non novit virum,
Sed ut pirus picarum,
Gleba fert papirum,
Rosa lilium.]

[Ecce quod Natura
Mutat sua jura:
Virgo parit pura Dei filium.

Ecce novum gaudium,
Ecce novum mirum:
Virgo parit filium,
Que non novit virum;

Que non novit virum,
Sed ut pirus pirum,
Gleba fert saphirum,
Dei filium.]

[2. Mundum Deus flebilem
Videns in ruina,
Florem delectabilem
Produxit de spina:

Produxit de spina
Virgo que regina,
Mundi medicina,
Salus gencium.]

[3. Nequivit divinitas
Plus humiliari,
Nec nostra fragilitas
Magis exaltari,

Magis exaltari
Quam celo collori
Deoque equari
Per confugium.]
