Madre, la de los primores,
la que es virgen siendo madre,
la madre de tantas hijas,
y madre de tantos padres.
Goza hoy en tu templo felicidades,
pues de tu esposo eres divino Atlante.

Señora reformadora,
la que a sus benditos frailes,
los trae por esos desiertos,
al sol, a la nieve, al aire.
Goza hoy en tu templo felicidades,
pues de tu esposo eres divino Atlante.

El premio de sus trabajos
paga el cielo conmandarle,
que para que al cielo suban,
les haga que descalsen.
Goza hoy…

Quien la vido [vió?] y la ve agora [ahora?]
andar por sotos, y valles
entonces, y en esas fiestas
ocupar mil altares.
Goza hoy…

Por dios my señora monja,
que supo de amor los lances,
pues se hechó la cruz a cuestas
por seguir bien a su amante,
Goza hoy…

Descanse muy en buen hora
en el templo que le hace,
quien amante solicita
 que de trabajar descanse.
Goza hoy…
