TEXT AND TRANSLATION
O frondens virga, in tua nobilitate stans sicut aurora procedit: nunc gaude et letare et nos debiles dignare a mala consuetudine liberare atque manum tuam porrige ad erigendum nos. |
Oh blossoming bough standing in all your nobility just as the morning awakens: so now rejoice and be glad, though we are frail deem us worthy, keep us from falling into habitual wickedness and also extend your hand out to help us stand upright. |
