Sibylla Cumana
Language: Latin
Available translation(s): ENG FIN FRE
Iam mea certa manent et vera novissima verba.
Ultima venturi, quod erant oracula regis,
Qui toti veniens mundo cum pace placebit,
Ut voluit nostra vestitus carne decenter,
In cunctis humilis.
Castam pro matre puellam deliget.
Haec alias forma praecesserit omnes.

Sibylle de Cumes
Language: French (Français)  after the Latin
Maintenant mes paroles restent certaines, vraies et tout à fait neuves,
En ce qu'elles étaient les dernières prophéties de l'arrivée du roi,
Qui en venant plaira au monde entier avec la paix,
Comme il l'a voulu, revêtu de notre chair avec grâce,
Humble en toutes choses, comme mère une jeune fille chaste
Il choisira, cette forme aura emporté sur toutes les autres.
