Ave, Regina cœlorum!
Ave, Domina angelorum!
Salve, radix! salve, porta!
Ex qua mundo lux est orta.
(Hail, Mary, queen of heavenly spheres!
Hail, whom the angelic host reveres!
Hail, fruitful root! hail, sacred gate!
Whence the world's light derives its date.)
Gaude, Virgo gloriosa,
Super omnes speciosa,
