Latin.png Latin text

Flos florum, fons hortorum, regina polorum,
spes veniæ, lux letitiæ, medicina dolorum.
virga recens et virgo decens, tu forma bonorum:
parce reis et opem fer eis pro pace piorum,
pasce tuos, succure tuis, miserere tuorum.

English.png English translation

Flower of flowers, fount of gardens, queen of the heavens,
hope of pardon, light of joy, remedy of sorrows.
fresh branch and seemly virgin, model of goodness:
spare the guilty and bring them a reward in the peace of the righteous,
feed your own, succour your own, have mercy upon your own.

Translation by Campelli
