Original text and translations

Latin text Gaude Maria Virgo, cunctas haereses sola interemisti. Quae Gabrielis archangeli dictis, credidisti. Dum Virgo Deum et hominem genuisti: et post partum Virgo inviolata permansisti.

English translation Rejoice, O Virgin Mary, for thou singly hast confounded all heresies. Thou didst believe the words of the archangel Gabriel. Whilst a virgin, thou didst bear God and man, and after his birth thou didst remain an inviolate virgin.
