Latin text

Videntes stellam magi gavisi sunt gaudio magno:
et intrantes domum,

invenerunt puerum, cum Maria, matre eius,
et procidentes adoraverunt eum.
Et apertis thesauris suis,

obtulerunt ei munera: aurum, thus et myrrham.

English translation

Seeing the star, the magi rejoiced with great joy;
and entering the house,

they found the boy, with Mary, His mother,
and fell down and worshiped Him.
And [when they had] opened their treasures,

they offered Him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
