Senex puerum

Tomás Luis de Victoria

Senex puerum portabat:
puer autem senem regebat:
quem virgo peperit,
et post partum virgo permansit:
ipsum quem genuit, adoravit.
 
The old man carried the boy,
but the boy ruled the old man.
Whom the virgin bore,
and afterwards remained a virgin,
the very same to whom she gave birth, she worshipped.
