Hymnus
Præclára custos vírginum Deíque mater ínnuba, cæléstis aulæ iánua, spes nostra, cæli gáudium;
Inter rubéta lílium, colúmba formosíssima, e stirpe virga gérminans nostro medélam vúlneri;
Turris dracóni impérvia, amíca stella náufragis, defénde nos a fráudibus tuáque luce dírige.
Thou Tower against the dragon proof, Thou Star to storm-tossed voyagers dear; Our course lies oer a treacherous deep, Thine be the light by which we steer.

Scatter the mists that round us hang; Keep far the fatal shoals away; And while through darkling waves we sweep, Open a path to light and day.
Quæ labe nostræ oríginis intácta splendes única, serpéntis artes æmuli elúde vindex ínclita.
