Original text and translations

Latin text Quia ergo femina mortem instruxit, clara virgo illam interemit, et ideo est summa benedictio in feminea forma pre omni creatura, quia Deus factus est homo in dulcissima et beata virgine.

English translation Therefore, because a woman contrived death, a resplendent virgin abolished it, and for that reason the blessing highest above all creation takes a womanly form because God was made human in a most-sweet and blessed virgin. Translation by Hugh McElroy
