There is no rose of such virtue,
As is the rose that bear Jesu.
For in this rose contained was
Heaven and earth in little space;
By that rose we may well see
That he is God in persons three,
The angels sungen the shepherds to:
Gloria in excelsis Deo:
Leave we all this worldly mirth,
And follow we this joyful birth;
Transeamus.
Circa 1420
