Magnificat:
From this anthem of Mary
Comes the English “magnify.”
The Christian God
Lifts Mary in her small identity
To present her with a natal duty that drew nigh.

Fiat:
It’s quite simple,
But to hesitant Mary,
A second or two was needed
To confirm the angel was being true.
This “yes” of Mary eventually whirled from her lips
And accepted God’s Son to be seeded.
Take heed that quotational words are translations both times.  Hope you enjoy!
