| Virgin Mary, Queen of Heavens' Symphony. Scivias III.13, Rupertsberg MS, fol. 229r |
| 1a. O virga ac diadema purpure regis que es in clausura tua sicut lorica: 1b. Tu frondens floruisti in alia vicissitudine quam Adam omne genus humanum produceret. |
1a. O branch and diadem, in royal purple clad, who in your cloister strong stand like a shield: 1b. You burst forth blooming but with buds quite different than Adam’s progeny— th’ entire human race. |
