A la que es tan bella y radiante, / Como la estrella del mar,ms radiante que la luz del dia / Madre y doncella

Os ruego a vos, que me veisSeora, receis por m ante vuestro hijo / Tan piadosa, para que pueda conocerle a l / Mara!

Todo este mundo estaba triste / Por los pecados de Eva,hasta que naci nuestro Seor / De ti, su madre.

Con "Ave" se fuela noche ms oscura, y lleg el dia / De salvacin; La fuente (de la vida) brota de vos / De virtud.

Seora, flor de todo / Rosa sin espinas,De vos naci Jess, Rey del cielo / Gracia divina;De todos, vos llevais el premio / Elegida.Dulce doncella, hecha madre / Realizada.

A Hymn to the VirginBenjamin Britten

Annimo (circa 1.300) del "Oxford Book of English Verse"Clarendon Press

Holt, Julio 1930 (1934)

A Hymn to the virginPag. 1

Of one that is so fair and bright, / Velut Maris Stella,Brighter than the day is light / Parens et puella

I cry to thee, thou see to meLady, pray thy son for me / Tam pia,That I may come to thee / Maria!

All this world was forlorn / Eva peccatrice,Till our lord was yborn / De te genetrice.

With "Ave" it went awayDarkest night, and comes the day / Salutis;The well springeth out of thee / Virtutis. Lady, flow'r of ev'rything / Rosa sine espina,Thou bare Jesu, Heaven's King / Gratia divina;Of all thou bear'st the prize, Lady queen / Electa.Maid mild, mother es Effecta / Effecta.
