Summi regis archangele Michahel, Intende, quaesumus, nostris Vocibus, Te namque profitemur esse Supernorum principem ciuium. Te deum generi humano Orante diriguntur angeli, Ne laedere inimici, Quantum cupiunt, uersuti Fessos unquam mortales praeualeant. Idem tenes perpetui Potentiam paradisi, Semper te sancti honorant angeli. In templo tu dei Turibulum aureum Visus es habuisse manibus. Inde scandens uapor Aromate plurimo Peruenit ante conspectum dei. Tu crudelem cum draconem forti manu straueras, Faucibus illius animas eruisti plurimas. Hinc maximum agebatur in caelo silentium, Millia millium et dicunt: "Salus regi domino". Audi nos, Michahel, Angele summe, Huc parum descende De poli sede, Nobis ferendo opem domini Leuamen atque indulgentiae. Tu nostros, Gabrihel, Hostes prosterne, Tu, Raphael, aegris Affer medelam, Morbos absterge, noxas minue Nosque fac interesse gaudiis Beatorum. Has tibi symphonias plectrat sophus, induperator.
