R. A dripping honeycomb
was the virgin Ursula,
who yearned to embrace the Lamb of God,
the honey and milk beneath her tongue:

a garden bearing fruits,
the flowers’ blooms,
she gathered round,
a virgins’ brood.
V. So in the noblest dawn
rejoice, O daughter of Zion!
R. Because
a garden bearing fruits,
the flowers’ blooms,
she gathered round,
a virgins’ brood.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit.
R. For a garden bearing fruits,
the flowers’ blooms,
she gathered round,
a virgins’ brood.
