Original text and translations

Latin text O virtus Sapientiae, quae circuiens circuisti comprehendendo omnia in una via, quae habet vitam, tres alas habens, quarum una in altum volat, et altera de terra sudat, et tertia undique volat. Laus tibi sit, sicut te decet, O Sapientia.   Dutch translation O kracht van Wijsheid, die alsmaar ronddraaiend, allesomvattend, in één beweging, die leven in zich draagt, die drie vleugels heeft waarvan er één in de hoogte vliegt, de andere als nevel uit de aarde opstijgt en de derde overal rondzweeft. Lof zij jou, zoals jou toekomt, o Wijsheid. Translation by Anton Hendriks, Ben Terstegge & Hanneke Pot

English translation O strength of Wisdom who, circling, circled, enclosing all in one lifegiving path, three wings you have: one soars to the heights, one distils its essence upon the earth, and the third is everywhere. Praise to you, as is fitting, O Wisdom.
