Extollens quaedam mulier vocem de turba, dixit: Beatus venter qui te portavit, et ubera quae suxisti.  At Iesus dixit ei: Quinimmo beati qui audiunt verbum Dei, et custodiunt illud.

Translated Lyrics: 

A certain woman lifted up her voice from the crowd, he said: Blessed is the womb that bore Thee and the breasts that gave Thee suck. But Jesus said to him: Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
