1. Per­so­nent hodie
voces pue­ru­lae,
lau­dan­tes iucunde
qui nobis est natus,
summo Deo datus,
et de vir­gi­neo ven­tre proc­rea­tus.
2. in mundo nas­ci­tur,
pan­nis invol­vi­tur
prae­sepi poni­tur
sta­bulo bru­to­rum,
rec­tor super­no­rum.
per­di­dit spo­lia prin­ceps infer­no­rum.
3. magi tres vene­runt,
par­vu­lum inqui­runt,
par­vu­lum inqui­runt,
ste­llu­lam sequendo,
ipsum ado­rando,
aurum, thus, et myrrham ei offe­rendo.
4. omnes cle­ri­culi,
pari­ter pueri,
can­tent ut angeli:
adve­nisti mundo,
lau­des tibi fundo.
ideo glo­ria in excel­sis Deo.

Merry Christ-Mass, Everybody.

    Took me back: plea­sed to say I got most of it :)
    Com­pli­ments of the sea­son and thanks for all the joy — and irony — you spread through the year.
