De radice processerat
Iesse virga mirifica.
Huius virgae mysterium
si sane vis percipere,
virginis puerperium
tu debes intelligere,
quae mirum florem gesserat
faecunda vi deifica.
Flos Christus est in seculo,
dans odorem suauiter
et in coeli rosario
coruscans aeternaliter.
In fructum flos conuertitur
Gustando salutiferum:
Hoc est corpus meum, dum
loquitur natus ante Luciferum.
Granum, de cuius fructibus
egens turba reficitur,
Christus pro nobis omnibus
cadens in terra moritur.
Flos Christos est in seculo, etc.
