Text:
There is no rose of such virtue
As is the rose that bare Jesu;
Alleluia.
For in this rose contained was
Heaven and earth in little space;
Res miranda.
(Thing of Wonder)
By that rose we may well see
That He is God in persons three,
Pares forma.
(Equal)
The angels sungen the shepherds to:
Gloria in excelsis Deo:
Gaudeamus.
(Let us rejoice.)
Now leave we all this worldly mirth
And follow we this joyful birth;
Transeamus.
(Let us go.)
