UNICORNIS CAPTIVATUR
The unicorn is taken captive,
And presented to the king’s chamber
From the snare of the hunters;
The serpent is raised up from a rod,
And the wounded is healed
From the viper’s poison.
Sing Alleluia!
For the dying lamb
Sing Alleluia!
Shout Alleluia!
For the conquering lion.
Life returns to the wounded
Pelican: and hose prostrate
By wretched death for their sins;
The light of the Phoenix is burned up,
And consumed are the ancient
Sins of the world
Sing Alleluia!
For the dying lamb
Sing Alleluia!
Shout Alleluia!
For the conquering lion.
The hydeus enters the crocodile,
Robs him of his entrails, kills him,
And thence living returns;
For three days the lion slept,
He whom the rearing
King revived,
Sing Alleluia!
For the dying lamb
Sing Alleluia!
Shout Alleluia!
For the conquering lion.
