Jesse radix exeret virgam virga proferet,
that from the root of Jesse a slender branch would go forth

florem flos amigdala, synagoga scandala
the branch would bear, to the synagogue's scandal, the almond flower

aridula virguncula vivificet, florificat, fructificat
a dry young maid will flourish, flower, and bear fruit

ecce ministerium, virgo verbo peperit verum Dei filium
behold her service; the Virgin, by her word, has borne the true Son of God


hec est illa virgula Moysi miracula,
this is that little miraculous rod of Moses

colubros percutiens, sibi se reficiens
brandishing the serpent, restoring itself to itself

hec divisit maria nova ministeria,
this is the one who has divided the seas with a new service

cum lavimur, renascimur, colligimur
when we are washed, reborn, gathered together

in vipera mens extera,
in the strange serpent is understanding

et in forma baculi
and in the form of an actual staff

veri vera legitur figura signaculi
is truly embedded the figure of The Sign
