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 (wonderful thing).
By that rose we may well see there be one God in persons three. Pares forma (of the same form).
The angels sungen the shepherds to, “Gloria in excelsis Deo” (Glory to God in the highest). Gaudeamus (Let us rejoice).
Leave we all this worldly mirth and follow we this joyful birth. Transeamus (Let us go).
