Latin text

Virgo rosa venustatis, quae producta fiorem tene decus castitatis et in partu sanctiore exulta previle giis. Salve virgo virginem, salve vena vere, O puritatis terminum, virgo plena gratia peperisti Dominum celestem. Amen.

English translation

Virgin, rose of loveliness with even greater blossom, hold the honor of your chastity and rejoice in the privilege of a holier childbearing. Hail, virgin of virgins; hail, true virgin, ultimate in purity; virgin full of grace, you have borne the heavenly Lord. Amen.
