Hail Mary
O authoress of life
rebuilding up salvation's health
for death you have disturbed
that serpent crushed
to whom Eve raised herself
her neck outstretched
with puffed–up pride
That serpent's head you ground to dust
when heaven's Son of God you bore

on whom has breathed
God's Spirit

O sweet and most beloved
mother, hail
Your Son
from heaven sent you gave unto the world

on whom has breathed
God's Spirit
