Procedit e thalamo suo,
Pudoris aula regia
Geminae Gigas substantiae
Alacris ut currat viam.

Regressus Ejus ad Patrem,
Excursus usque ad Inferos,
Recursus ad sedem Dei.

'Him the Prophet Daniel describes as a Giant, because being of a twofold nature, He partaketh in one Person both of the Godhead and of a human Body, and exulted in going forth as a Bridegroom from His chamber, like a Giant, to run His course. He is Bridegroom of the soul as being the Word, He is a Giant of earth because He fulfilled all the duties of our daily life, and, though He was ever the eternal God, took upon Him the Mystery of the Incarnation.
