In Novum et insigne opus musicum, the second half of the text is addressed to Jesus, not Mary:
Latin text
Ave Maria gratia plena Dominus tecum;
benedicta tu in mulieribus
et benedictus fructus ventris tui.
O Jesu fili Dei,
qui tollis peccata mundi,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
ut cum electis te videamus.
