Latin text Diffusa est gratia in labiis tuis: propterea benedixit te Deus in aeternum. Propter veritatem et mansuetudinem et justitiam: et deducet te mirabiliter dextera tua. Audi filia, et vide, et inclina aurem tuam: quia concupivit Rex speciem tuam. (Alleluia.) Vultum tuum deprecabuntur omnes divites plebis: filiae Regum in honore tuo. Adducentur Regi Virgines post eam: proximae ejus afferentur tibi. Adducentur in laetitia et exultatione: Adducentur in templum Regis.

English translation Grace is poured abroad in thy lips: therefore hath God blessed thee for ever. Because of truth, and mildness, and justice: and thy right hand shall conduct thee marvellously. Hear, daughter, and see, and incline thine ear, for the king hath coveted thy beauty. All the rich of the people shall beseech thy countenance, the daughters of kings in thine honour. Virgins shall be brought to the king after her: her neighbours shall be brought to thee. They shall be brought in joy and exultation: they shall be brought into the temple of the king.
