O Virtue of Wisdom

O Virtus Sapientiae

O Virtue of WisdomO Virtus Sapientiae
You who have encircled allQuae circuiens circuisti
Comprehending everythingComprehendendo omnia
In one way, which has lifeIn una via, quae habet vitam
Having three wingsTres alas habens

Of which one flies highQuarum una in altum volat
And the other sweats from the earthEt altera de terra sudat
And the third flies everywhereEt tertia untique volat
Praise be to you, as it befits youLaus tibi sit, sicut te decet
O WisdomO Sapientia
