Fayreste of fayre moost gracieuse and benigne!
Whos goodnesse no clarke cane descryve,

Decimum Gaudium.


For that myracle and þat gloryous signe
Whanne Criste fyve thousand fedde with loves fyve,
For þilke Ioye, þowe socoure me nowe belyve,
And graunte I may, O þowe hewenly Roose!
My fyve wittes to þy plesaunce dispoose.
Aue Maria.
