TO the most holy and undivided Trinity, to the manhood of our crucified Lord Jesus Christ, to the fruitful virginity of the most blessed and glorious Mary, ever a Virgin, to the entire assembly of the saints, be ascribed everlasting praise, honor, power, and glory, by every creature; and to us be granted the remission of all our sins, world without end.

Hymn

Virgo singuláris,
inter omnes mitis,
nos culpis solútos
mites fac et castos.
O spotless maid! whose virtues shine.
With brightest purity:
Each action of our lives refine.
And make us pure like thee.
Vitam præsta puram,
Iter para tutum,
Ut vidéntes Jesum,
Semper collætémur.
Preserve our lives unstained with ill,
In this infectious way;
That heaven alone our souls may fill,
With joys that ne’er decay.
Sit laus Deo Patri,
Summo Christo decus,
Spirítui Sancto,
Tribus honor unus.
To God the Father, endless praise;
To God the Son, the same;
And Holy Ghost, whose equal rays,
One equal glory claim.
Amen.

Prayer After the Office
To those who, after the Divine Office, shall on their knees recite with devotion the following prayer, Pope Leo X granted indulgence in respect of those shortcomings and faults which they may have committed through human frailty while saying Office.
SACROSÁNCTÆ, et indivíduæ Trinitáti, crucifíxi Dómini nostri Jesu Christi humanitáti, beatíssimæ et gloriosíssimæ sempérque Vírginis Maríæ fœcúndæ integritáti, et ómnium Sanctórum universitáti sit sempitérna laus, honor, virtus et glória ab omni creatúra, nobísque remíssio ómnium peccatórum, per infiníta sæcula sæculórum.
TO the most holy and undivided Trinity, to the manhood of our crucified Lord Jesus Christ, to the fruitful virginity of the most blessed and glorious Mary, ever a Virgin, to the entire assembly of the saints, be ascribed everlasting praise, honor, power, and glory, by every creature; and to us be granted the remission of all our sins, world without end.
R. Amen.
R. Amen
V. Beáta víscera Maríæ Vírginis, quæ portavérunt ætérni Patris Fílium.
V. Blessed is the Virgin Mary’s womb, which bore the Son of the Everlasting Father.
R. Et beáta úbera quæ lactavérunt Christum Dóminum.
R. And blessed are the paps that gave suck to Christ our Lord.

Then is said secretly an ‘Our Father’ and a ‘Hail Mary’.

Thanks for this! The best website I've come across for the Divine Office is https://divinumofficium.com/
It has quite a few different versions of the Office(In english, latin, and other languages). It's extremely easy to use. You choose the version you want, the date, and the particular hour, and everything is in perfect order, ready to pray. For the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin you can click on the date and then choose "Parvum B.M.V."
