Translation

Quadruplum
With the sun of serene newness arising,
the fashioner of falsehood flees forth;
the virgin gives birth by virtue of
divine majesty. hail Mary, mother of
grace, who bore the font of goodness.
Defend us from the dregs of foulness,
from the bond of worldly vanity;
let not the author of evil defile.
Now charity is in exile,
and truth laments silently
in the council.
For equity in judgment,
purity in elocution
is oppressed with sadness.
Now faith is far from the homeland;
falseness and injustice
reside in the dominion.
Cupidity and envy
abide in the treachery;
the one in need lacks aid.
The malignant bond remains,
everywhere the stepmother does injury,
perpetually in danger.
But the sacred discipline reaches
and commands hearts to cut loose
from the dart of malice.
Boldly relinquish the way
of the snake; heretical fraud
deeply loves vain glory.
By the grace of the true virgin
the glory of heaven lies open.
Triplum
Source of man now made public
when the incarnate word, which was
already predicted by the prophets,
is publicly revealed, not kept secret,
when Gabriel, who was chosen,
addressed the virgin:
“Hail virgin full of grace.”
To which she humbly thus replied:
“I am the unworthy handmaiden of Jesus Christ.”
Now the vein kindness in this covenant
is brought to the fore.
From fetters of sadness
Adam’s race is now redeemed
by Christ, who is now born.
The forehead of Goliath is smashed
when it is struck by David’s
smooth rock; it is poured forth.
Pharaoh is now tricked,
and Egypt is submerged;
injurious ill-will is now afflicted,
immersed in the depths.
Now Israel, free from Egypt,
celebrates in joy;
to Abraham, who long ago farmed,
a promise is now
redeemed in joy.
A flagon flows with milk and honey,
manna now falls from heaven;
what daily was not hidden
by the veil of the figures,
as it pleased the king of heaven,
was opened to all eyes
from the mother, pure virgin.
Duplum
O rod of Jesse, you who remain
the emblem of clemency,
you red rose,
virtuous woman of moral purity,
fecund virgin,
bearer of the news of salvation.
The bearer of the secret
greets the virgin,
saying “You bear
God and man.”
O miraculous event,
that a virgin gave birth
and remains pure.
At once the crowd
of the synagogue tumbled down;
the catholic faith
deserved to be praised;
thus the head
of the ancient serpent is pounded
to pieces with misery.
Let the holy church
pour out with jubilation
its joy about the mellifluous
virgin Mary.
