Mater Salvatoris
Vide quid dicaris,
Pensa singularem
Nominis honorem.
Comple dictum facto,
Sed labore nullo,
Quamvis una prece
Reos absolvente.
Aure quippe matris
Quidquid postulabis,
Apud tam benignum
Impetrabis natum.
Sanctam matrem iustus
Non offendet natus,
Nec ferent repulsam
Tuae preces ullam.
Virtus sanctitatis
Et potestas matris
Quantumcunque magnum
Obtinebunt donum.
Preces subplicantis
Non contempnet matris,
Qui parere patri
Iubet sive matri.
Mother of the Savior, consider what you are
called, think upon the unique honor of
your name. Fulfill your title in deed, but without effort, absolve with just
one prayer the guilty. As a mother has her children’s ear, whatever you ask
before your goodly Son, you will obtain. The just Son will not offend his holy
mother, nor will any of your prayers be rejected. The strength of holiness and
the power of a mother will secure every great gift. He will not despise the
prayers of his supplicant mother, he who commands us to obey father and mother.
