O virtus Sapientiae, 

quae circuiens circuisti 

comprehendendo omnia 

in una via, quae habet vitam, 

tres alas habens, 

quarum una in altum volat, 

et altera de terra sudat, 

et tertia undique volat. 

Laus tibi sit, sicut te decet, 

O Sapientia. 

O strength of Wisdom 

who, circling, circled, 

enclosing all 

in one lifegiving path, 

three wings you have: 

one soars to the heights, 

one distils its essence upon the earth, 

and the third is everywhere. 

Praise to you, as is fitting, 

O Wisdom.
