William Cornysh, Salve Regina

Salve Regina mater miseri cordiae, vita, dulcedo et spes nostra salve
Ad te clamamus, exsules filii Hevae
Ad te suspiramis gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle
Eia ergo advocata nostra, illos tuos miseri cordes oculos ad nos converte
Et Jesum benedictum fructum ventris tui nobis post hoc exsilium ostende
O clemens, o pia, o dulcis virgo Maria.
