Signum magnum apparuit in coelo: mulier amicta sole, et luna sub pedibus ejus, et in capite ejus corona stellarum duodecim. Cantate Domino canticum novum: quia mirabilia fecit. V. Gloria Patri

Translated Lyrics: 

A great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. (Ps. 97. 1). Sint ye to the Lord a new canticle: because He hath done wonderful things. V. Glory be to the Father
