⁴²and criede with a greet vois, and seide, Blessid be thou among wymmen, and blessid be the fruyt of thi wombe.

⁴³And whereof is this thing to me, that the modir of my Lord come to me?

⁴⁴For lo! as the voice of thi salutacioun was maad in myn eeris, the yong child gladide in ioye in my wombe.

⁴⁵And blessid be thou, that hast bileued, for thilke thingis that ben seid of the Lord to thee, schulen be parfitli don.

⁴⁶And Marie seide, Mi soule magnyfieth the Lord,

⁴⁷and my spirit hath gladid in God, myn helthe.
