[N.B. Yr humble scribe brings this short mediaeval text for yr edification. This brief poem is found in the Complutensian Sacramentary, thought to have been compiled in the mid-13th Century, where it is listed as the Collect for today's Mass. The cult of the Virgin of Spain is otherwise obscure. Evidently it was equally so in antic periods - this text is attested only in the above Tome, and shows but poor handiwork in its Construction, being an obvious & Inelegant translation from the Demotic.]
O Domina Hispaniae
Adoro te devote, O Domina Hispaniae:
E prima nocte vidi te,
cor meum desideratum tibi:
Domina Hispaniae, adoro te.
Oro tibi, O Domina Hispaniae:
cur labia mea abscondant,
omnia quid oculi mei revelant?
Domina Hispaniae, adoro te.
