Ave Virgo sanctissima
Dei mater piisima
Maris stella clarissima
Salve semper gloriosa
Margarita pretiosa
Sicut lilium formosa
Nitens olens velut rosa.
Hail, Holy Virgin
most blessed Mother of God
bright star of the sea
Hail ever glorious
precious pearl
lovely as the lily
beautiful and perfumed as the rose.
