14. There is no rose

There is no rose of such virtue
As is the rose that bare Jesu.

[1]

There is no rose of such virtue
As is the rose that bare Jesu;

11

Alleluia.

2

For in this rose containëd was
Heaven and earth in little space;
Res miranda.

3

By that rose we may well see
That he is God in persons three,
Pari forma.

4

The angels sungen the shepherds to:
Gloria in excelsis Deo:
Gaudeamus.

5

Leave we all this worldly mirth,
And follow we this joyful birth;
Transeamus.
