Sibylla Cumana

Iam mea certa manent et vera novissima verba.
Ultima venturi, quod erant oracula regis,
Qui toti veniens mundo cum pace placebit,
Ut voluit nostra vestitus carne decenter,
In cunctis humilis.
Castam pro matre puellam deliget.
Haec alias forma praecesserit omnes.

by Anonymous/Unidentified Artist , from a medieval compilation of Jewish, Christian and pagan sources.
