Crudelis Herodes deum ad nos venire quid times non eripit mortalia qui regna dat caelestia | Ibant magi quam viderant stellam sequentes praeviam lumen requirunt lumine deum fatentur munere | Lavacra puri gurgitis caelestis agnus attigit peccata quae non detulit nos abluendo sustulit | Novum genus potentiae aquae rubescunt hydriae vinumque jussa fundere mutavit unda originem
