Latin text
Stella quam viderant magi in oriente antecedebat eos, donec venirent ad locum ubi puer erat;
Videntes autem eam, gavisi sunt gaudio magno.

The star which the Wise Men saw in the East went before them until it came to where the Child was.
And when they saw it, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
