Hail Queen Wisdom, the Lord salute you
with your sister Holy-Pure Simplicity.
Lady Holy Poverty, the Lord salute you
with your sister Holy Humility.
Lady Holy Charity, the Lord salute you
with your sister Holy Obedience.
Most holy virtues, the Lord salute all of you,
He from whom you come and proceed.

There is scarcely a man in all the world,
who can have one of you, before he dies.
He who has one and offends not the others,
has all.
And he who offends one,
has none and offends all.

And any whatsoever confounds
vices and sins.
Holy Wisdom confounds Satan
and all his wickednesses.
Pure Holy Simplicity confounds
all the wisdom of this world and the wisdom of the body.
Holy Poverty confounds cupidity and avarice,
and the cares of this world.
Holy Humility confounds pride
and all the men, who are in the world, and likewise all the things, which are in the world.
Holy Charity confounds all the diabolic,
and carnal temptations and all carnal fears.
Holy Obedience confounds all things corporal
both carnal and one's own willings.
And holds the body mortified
in obedience to the spirit,
and in obedience to one's brother.
And is subject and submissive to all the men,
who are in the world and not only to men,
but even to all the beasts and wildlife,
so that they might do with him, whatever they will,
as much as it will have been given them from above by the Lord.
