who is of smiling face bestower of all fortunes
whose hands are ready to rescue anyone from fear
who is adorned by various ornaments with
precious stones Puer natus est nobis et filius
datus est nobis: cujus emperium super humerum...
For to us a child is born to us a son is given:
and the government will be upon his shoulder..
